Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Heritage Para Latinos

Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15th to October 15th, so our HPS branches across the country are celebrating the Hispanic community's rich culture, history, and contributions. Through our Heritage Para Latinos initiative, we're dedicated to supporting Spanish-speaking pros with tailored resources, customer appreciation days, hands-on training events, and more, conducted entirely in Spanish.

At the heart of this effort are our Heritage Para Latinos Ambassadors. These Territory Managers, Branch Managers, District Managers, and Sales Specialists work every day to bring specialized training and bilingual tools directly to our local communities.

Featured Ambassador Spotlights

Jerry Jimenez (Territory Manager at Heritage Pool Supply in El Paso, Midland, Laredo, TX) 
Jerry spent 25 years working in the pool industry, starting at the sales counter and working his way up to partner and Sales Manager at his last company. For Jerry, Hispanic Heritage Month means celebrating family, hard work, resilience, and tradition. His family stays connected to their roots through regular carne asada cookouts that bring everyone together.

Felipe Gonzalez (District Heritage Pool Supply in Southern California)
Felipe spent 15 years growing his career and leading teams across Southern California. His family roots trace back to Aranda, Jalisco, Mexico, and he takes huge pride in the regional diversity of Mexican food, with pozole sitting at the top of his list. Helping team members move up in the company gives him the biggest payoff in his daily work.
