Silicon Valley’s sometimes splintered Latino community took a big step together Saturday night at a fun, elegant event at the Mexican Heritage Plaza.

“The Red Carpet Gala, hosted by the Mexican American Community Services Agency and sponsored by more than two dozen companies, was a seven-hour extravaganza of music, dancing and food including a to-die-for dinner prepared by caterers Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme.

But what really brought people together was the announcement of Silicon Valleys most influential Latino leaders in 10 areas, picked from a list of 100 nominees by a large selection committee that also considered the results of an online poll.”
