Introducing Laureate, Christian Velasquez.
Curiosity, hard work, and a commitment to doing the right thing have helped shape Christian's career and community impact.
Inspired by parents who came to America seeking opportunity, Christian grew up learning the value of hard work, personal responsibility, and lifelong learning. Those lessons continue to guide his leadership and service today.
When reflecting on legacy, Christian shared:
"Hopefully, we all do the best we can while here on earth and leave things better for the generations that follow."
We are proud to recognize Christian as a 2026 JA Business Hall of Fame Laureate and celebrate the lasting impact he has made throughout our region.
Join us on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at The H Hotel in Midland.
