Over the years, the ACEP has brought many cultural programs and events including an annual visit by the Houston Opera Company during the 70's and through to the early 90's.  They also brought the San Antonio Symphony to Eagle Pass on a regular basis.
 
After Cerna resigned in the late 80's, Martha Bres, Esperanza Deutsch, Mary Jane Fletcher and Adolfo Flore,s Jr proceeded her as in the office of president during the 90's.
