The Honorable Joe Baca, Chair, Congressional Hispanic Caucus to Deliver Remarks at the LATINA Style 50

The Honorable Joe Baca will kick-off and provide remarks at the 10th Year Anniversary of Latina Style 50 Awards and Diversity Conference this coming Thursday February 7th in Washington, D.C., at the opening breakfast. Representative Baca, Congressman of the 43rd District of California, will address the audience for the second consecutive year.

Joining Rep. Baca in the welcoming conference attendees are Belinda Garza, Manager, Federal Government Relations for Wal-Mart & Scott Stewart, Director, Multicultural External Relation, Procter & Gamble.

This year marks the 10th year anniversary of the program, highlighting the 50 best companies for Latinas to work for in the U.S. Since its inception in 1998, the LATINA Style 50 Report has become the most respected evaluation of corporate America’s career development opportunities for Latinas, setting the standard for corporate America’s sensitivity to the needs and goals of professional Hispanic women in the workplace.

“I am honored to have Congressman Baca join us for a second consecutive year for this powerful event.”, says Robert E. Bard, President & CEO of LATINA Style Inc. “As the Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and Chair of the CHC Corporate America, Technology Communications and the Arts Task Force, Rep. Baca has shown his commitment to ensure that the needs of Hispanics and in specifically Latinas in the corporate ranks are being met”.

Companies responding to LATINA Style’s questionnaire are evaluated based on issues that LATINA Style readers have identified as most important to them in the workplace. Among the principal areas of evaluation are: number of Latina executives, mentoring programs, Latina board members, educational opportunities, alternative work policies, dependent/child care support, employee benefits, women’s issues, job retraining, affinity groups and Hispanic relations.

The number of Hispanic working women in the U.S. workforce exceeds seven and a half million and the numbers continue to rise. LATINA Style 50 companies employ 4,627,936 employees, of those 306,273 are Latinas, representing 6.6% of the total workforce of all the selected companies.

The annual awards ceremony honoring the 10 year anniversary and LATINA Style 50 Companies will take place on February 7, 2008 at the Renaissance Hotel, 999 9th Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20001.
