The founders of OCI Group were featured in the San Antonio Express-News Conexion Magazine on April 14, 2011, to highlight our work as a company that develops and/or strengthens the social purpose of businesses, nonprofits and other organizations, while growing as viable, profitable entities.  

Please note that while we thank Conexion for the article, there is a slight correction in Analco González`s final quote.  At OCI we believe one must stay involved with the community from the get go. "Giving Back" implies a disconnect and we believe that one must remain involved within the community, and with a social purpose; this is what we feel impacts the bottom line--genuine commitment and involvement in the community.
