RNHA Announces Sponsorship of the SRLC

Lakeland, Florida – The Republican National Hispanic Assembly (RNHA) is pleased to

announce the sponsorship of the 2010 Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC).
This year, the SRLC will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana April 8 – 11, 2010.

RNHA National Chairman Alci Maldonado released the following statement, “The RNHA is very
proud to be a sponsor of the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. Inasmuch as the
SRLC is the largest and most prominent GOP gathering prior to the Republican National
Convention, we will gather with fellow Republicans to learn the nuts and bolts of grassroots
activism and how we can make the 2010 election cycle the triumphant national election of
Republicans to take back the Congress!”

The Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) is a quadrennial event held two years
before each Presidential Election. The event unites conservatives from across the South (and
the country) with top political leaders, elected officials, candidates, activists and donors. The
SRLC has featured every major GOP Presidential candidate since President Ronald Reagan.
However, the SRLC is best known for its Presidential Straw Poll, which receives national
attention and is generally considered to be the unofficial launch of the Presidential cycle. The
RNHA was chartered by the RNC in 1974 during the administration of President Richard M.
Nixon and then RNC Chairman George H. W. Bush and is the nation’s leading Republican
Hispanic grassroots organization.

national Party activities, increase the number of Hispanic Republican elected officials, and create and maintain a network of
Hispanic Republican leaders.

Paid for by the Republican National Hispanic Assembly. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.
