Entravision Communications Corporation Names Marcelo Gaete-Tapia Vice President of Public and Governmental Affairs

“Entravision Communications Corporation announced today that Marcelo Gaete- Tapia has been appointed as the new Vice President of Public and Governmental Affairs for the company.

As a national leader on Latino political participation, Mr. Gaete brings a unique background and extensive expertise to his new role at Entravision. Mr. Gaete will work to enhance and coordinate Entravision’s community service in promoting U.S. citizenship, voter registration, and Get-Out-The-Vote efforts. Mr. Gaete will carry out his duties based in Santa Monica, California, working with elected officials and national community and civic organizations.

“Marcelo is truly an exceptional individual given his background in the political arena,” said Walter Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entravision. “At Entravision, we believe that it’s critical to find individuals whose talents allow them to effectively reach out and communicate with the representatives of our communities and cities. With his experience in this area, we’re confident that Marcelo will help the Entravision family become an even stronger voice for the country’s Hispanic population.”

“I’m very excited to become a member of the Entravision family,” said Mr. Gaete. “Entravision does such an incredible amount of work representing and reaching out to the Hispanic population in all of the key markets where they operate. It will be an honor to work closely with Entravision and their audience in order to communicate the growing influences of the Hispanic population in all aspects of life in this country.”

Prior to joining Entravision, Mr. Gaete was the Senior Director of Programs for the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials’ (NALEO) Educational Fund, where he was responsible for the strategic development of all NALEO Educational Fund programs and coordinating 75% of the organization’s programmatic budget.

At NALEO, Mr. Gaete is credited with the development of the group’s Voces del Pueblo, an innovative voter education and mobilization program, which targets registered Latinos with a history of low voter participation. This program is the largest documented “Get-Out-The-Vote” effort in the nation, with key partners including the National Council of La Raza and Univision Communications. In addition, Mr. Gaete played a key role in developing the organization’s programs for promoting full Latino political participation through the promotion of U.S. Citizenship and civic integration “Ya es Hora” initiative.
