SignTek, member of the largest non-franchise sign chain in the US, The
Sign Biz Network, was was awarded a 2007 Don Quijote Award by the Central
Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. The award was presented to company owners,
Richard Weaver and Elvis Campos at the chamber’s Annual Awards Ceremony held
December 1st at Walt Disney World.
“This honor shows the value of networking
and participating in community organizations,” explained Campos.
“Being an active member of organizations
like the Hispanic Chamber, the International Chamber and the Seminole
County Chamber has not only been good for our business, but has given
our employees a sense of doing something good for the community. We are
very honored to have received this award.”
The Hispanic Business Initiative Fund of
Greater Orlando (HBIF) and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro
Orlando collaborated on the 10th Annual Don Quijote Awards Gala which
was held at the Walt Disney World Show Place Pavilion Dec. 1st 2007. The
event took place last Saturday at Disney’s Contemporary Resort with a
record-breaking attendance of over 1,000 guests, including members of
Central Florida's Hispanic business community, elected officials and
other civic leaders.
Signtek was founded in 2006 by Elvis Campos
who is from Guatemala and Richard Weaver who was born in Spain, but grew
up in Argentina. The two entrepreneurs met back in Los Angeles and
decided to move to Florida due to the high cost of housing in California
and a better living environment for their families. They both had worked
together in printing and loved the idea of opening a business with their
experience in the industry. They found the Sign Biz Corporation for all
of the backbone support services for entrepreneurs, and settled in a
location in Sanford, Florida and they have seeing tremendous growth
since there arrival to Central Florida.
Some of their customers are Central Florida
Regional Hospital, Lake Mary High School and many other happy customers.
The Don Quijote Awards is the premier event of the Hispanic community in
Central Florida. The awards are presented every year to Hispanic
entrepreneurs and leaders whose efforts have translated into success,
including extraordinary ability in their fields and through their
volunteer community service.
The selection process of the award was
based on nominees’ community involvement, financial growth, leadership,
innovation and contributions to their industries. This year’s selection
committee reviewed more than 130 nominations.
