CapitalWirePR is pleased to bring you a message about the MillerCoors Lider of the Year award and inviting you to cast a vote for one of the twelve nominees.

I am a finalist in the MillerCoors Lideres campaign, which honors leaders in the Hispanic community. As the National Communications Director of the League of United Latin American Citizens, a graduate of Georgetown University’s Executive Master’s in Leadership program and a recipient of the Young Hispanic Leaders Program in Madrid, Spain, I am very honored by this recognition.

I need your votes to become the MillerCoors Lider of the Year. Members of the public are invited to vote for the 12 finalists at www.MillerCoorsLideres.com through November 20, 2009. The winner will receive a $25,000 grant for a community leadership project with their nonprofit organization and MillerCoors.

I was selected as part of Líderes because of my passion and involvement in the Hispanic community. I have fought for health care and immigration reform, stronger hate crimes protection, improved education and the elimination of discrimination.

The League of United Latin American Citizens advances the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, housing, health and civil rights of Hispanic Americans through community-based programs operating at more than 700 LULAC councils nationwide.

Conference highlights will include educational workshops on how to leverage the right media mix to grow the business, financial solvency, and how to separate and position your business against the competition. An impressive list of speakers will provide motivational topics and tips for the Latina business owner to succeed.

"The Latina entrepreneur has officially left her mark on American business," said Cecilia Mota, National President of NLBWA. "As a group, we are organized, motivated and dedicated to not only succeed as individuals, but to also serve as mentors and examples of what can be accomplished through unity and purpose."

NLBWA has made great strides in the short period of time it has been in existence. Each conference offers increased visibility and value to attendees, both male and female, which offers a learning environment through valuable interaction and a platform to hear speakers who are highly regarded experts within the business community and government sectors.

The conference workshops will focus on providing the tools and methods that will better position the Latina business owner to prosper and manage through an uncertain economic climate. Each workshop will include a panel discussion where attendees will hear from business experts on the best practices used to succeed and grow their businesses.

Since its foundation, NLBWA has grown to seven chapters nationwide with a growing membership. NLBWA's mission is to promote, develop and support the rapid growth of Latina business owners and professionals. The national organization supports the development of chapters throughout the country and these chapters deliver programs and services enabling greater success for this critical, but underrepresented market. The purpose of NLBWA is to create more representation, visibility, and business development, networking and mentoring opportunities for Latinas in the world of business and at the executive levels throughout the country.

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of Hispanic women and, according to the American Heart Association, Hispanic women are likely to develop heart disease ten years earlier than Caucasian women.

"Go Red Por Tu Corazon is designed to tap into cultural traditions as a means to a healthier lifestyle, and provide Hispanic women and their families with the tools and resources needed to enjoy good heart health," said Luz Marina Prieto, M.D., assistant professor of clinical medicine for the division of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism for the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami. "Our goal is to encourage Hispanic women to protect their hearts so they can be there for the ones they love."

To put heart disease center stage, the American Heart Association has collaborated with one of the biggest Latin cultural events of the year, the Latin GRAMMY® Awards. Go Red Por Tu Corazon kicks off today with the support of attending artists and 2008 Nuestra Belleza Latina winner, Melissa Marty, who will be reporting live from the "green" carpet and asking stars, guests and viewers to make a pledge for better heart health in the Latino community.

"After losing my grandmother to heart disease, I knew I had to make heart-healthy changes in my own lifestyle and encourage my parents and brothers to do the same," said Melissa Marty, 2008 Nuestra Belleza Latina winner and Go Red Por Tu Corazon supporter. "I'm proud to be able to share my experience and inspire other Latinas to do the same and improve their heart health."

To provide life-saving education beyond the awards show, a series of video segments featuring Melissa Marty, Latin GRAMMY® attending artists, and fashion expert Martin Llorens will be available throughout the month on Univision.com, Keyword: Go Red Corazon.

In launching Go Red Por Tu Corazon, the American Heart Association has strengthened its commitment to preventing heart disease amongst Latina women. By focusing on family and cultural traditions, Go Red Por Tu Corazon hopes to promote a healthy lifestyle within the Hispanic community.

Since its inception in 2004, Go Red For Women has helped raise awareness of the No. 1 killer of women and inspired millions to make heart-healthy changes. Powered by American Heart Association research, Go Red For Women provides women with the tools and resources to beat this largely preventable disease.

Solis today issued the following statement regarding the AFL-CIO and American Rights at Work report “ICED OUT: How Immigration Enforcement Has Interfered with Workers’ Rights.”

"The Department of Labor is firmly committed to protecting the rights of all workers, and especially the rights of the most vulnerable workers in our economy.

"The violation of any one worker's rights is cause for concern to all American workers. When unscrupulous employers abuse vulnerable workers, honest employers and their workers suffer.

"I am proud that, as of Oct. 13, the Labor Department has hired 224 new wage and hour investigators to seek out employers in violation of the law wherever they may be. These investigators are working hard every single day to ensure that every worker is paid at least the minimum wage, that those who work overtime are properly compensated, that child labor laws are strictly enforced and that every worker is provided a safe and healthful environment.

"Wage and hour laws apply to every single worker in this country, regardless of immigration status. My department is working tirelessly to protect all workers' rights."
