USHCC To Host Annual Latino ERG Summit At 2012 Los Angeles Convention
WASHINGTON, July 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) is proud to announce the Third Annual Latino Employee Resource Group (ERG) Summit and Corporate Challenge on Monday, September 17, 2012 at the 33rd Annual National Convention in Los Angeles, California.
The Latino ERG Summit and Corporate Challenge is a key component of the USHCC 33rd Annual National Convention and has been designed to bring Latino ERGs together to share best practices and provide compelling results on the value of Latino ERGs in corporate America. Employee Resource Groups are a crucial asset to corporations for their role in diversity recruitment and retention, diversity in management, talent development, and reaching customers and clients in their respective communities.
"In 2010, the USHCC launched the first-ever Latino ERG Summit Challenge at the Annual Convention in Dallas. We recognize the tremendous impact that Latino ERGs have on the development and success of tomorrow's Hispanic senior corporate executives," says Javier Palomarez, USHCC President & CEO.
Over the last two years, over 80 outstanding corporations have actively competed in the challenge, including Aetna, Bank of America, ExxonMobil and State Farm. These companies' Latino ERGs compete based on their impact in four key areas: career advancement of Latino professionals, alignment of Latino ERG initiatives and corporate objectives, community involvement, and cultural Latino advancement within the firm.
"The level of enthusiasm and excitement from last year's event serves as a testament to the USHCC's continued focus on ERG development, and we look forward to identifying and awarding another outstanding organization this year," adds USHCC Chairman of the Board Nina Vaca.
Leading the 2012 Latino ERG Summit Challenge is Dr. Robert Rodriguez, President of DRR Advisors LLC, based in Chicago.
"I am so excited about the third annual Latino ERG Summit & Corporate Challenge," states Dr. Rodriguez. "Latino ERGs are leading the positive evolution of corporate employee networks and are setting the benchmark of what it means to be a next generation employee resource group."
