No party or event is without a reason. This is how we foster new relationships, open doors, and launch new ideas that create business opportunities, investments, and jobs in the U.S. and Spain.
From James Costos
My passion for service came from my parents, and my community involvement began at a very young age, when I volunteered with the local Chamber of Commerce in Lowell, MA to help revitalize our city.
I say I just happen to be gay. It's just like everything else - I've been on the board of The Humane Society, and I'm a vegetarian, but these are just some of the things that define me as a person. They don't define me in general.
I want to help find opportunities for people to become active participants in their communities.
At the end of the day, what I have is the power to give a louder voice to people who have issues, questions and problems.
You can have all of the laws and protection in place, but how do you get rid of homophobia? This is something that the U.S. is going to have to deal with.
I'm an ambassador 24 hours a day.
I have a direct line with Obama. It's a crucial link. And I can put Spain in the spotlight.
Prince Felipe is the best ambassador for Spain: I have already told Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, minister of foreign affairs, that the prince should travel to the U.S. more often.
As ambassador, I am focused on expanding bilateral trade and investment between the United States and Spain.
