Our signature social event of the NALEO 25th Annual Conference was held in celebration of late Congressman Edward R. Roybal on June 26, 2008 at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC.  Congressman Roybal served on the Los Angeles City Council from 1949 to 1962, and in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1963 to 1992.  In 1976, Congressman Roybal and several of his colleagues founded NALEO and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.  He served as NALEO's President until 1999, when he was named President Emeritus. Congressman Roybal’s legacy lives on in the work of those bestowed with the prestigious Edward R. Roybal Award for Outstanding Public Service.

The 2008 Edward R. Roybal Award Recipient for Outstanding Public Service was New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
