This year, NSHMBA is pleased to have Target as corporate lead sponsor and Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota as the academic lead sponsor. "It is an honor to partner with lead sponsors who are actively engaged with the NSHMBA mission of fostering Hispanic leadership, dedicating effort and resources to guarantee the success of our endeavor," said Steve A. Ramos, NSHMBA Interim CEO.

The official ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on Friday, October 9 at 8:20 a.m. with the attendance of Mr. Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota; Isaias Zamarripa, Director of Talent Acquisition, General Mills and Chair of NSHMBA Corporate Advisory Board; Cosette Gutierrez, Chair of NSHMBA Board of Directors; Anthony Heredia, Vice President of Corporate Risk and Responsibility, Target; and Steve Ramos, NSHMBA Interim CEO.

NSHMBA's three-day conference features a Professional Development Day, an exclusive Executive Forum, a Research Forum, a Career Management Center, and the nation's largest career expo for Hispanic MBAs. The Professional Development Day includes breakout sessions presented by leading corporate executives and business experts, and an Executive Forum created to provide a venue for high-level Hispanic executives to convene and address the challenges and demands Hispanic executives face in corporate America.

During the conference, NSHMBA will recognize Hispanic scholarship recipients from across the country who have been recently awarded financial assistance through the NSHMBA Scholarship Program and the NSHMBA University Partnership Program.

During the final evening gala on Saturday night sponsored by Target, NSHMBA will present the prestigious Brillante Awards for Excellence awards, with Maria Celeste Arraras as the events Emcee. Ms. Arraras is host and managing editor of "Al Rojo Vivo con Maria Celeste," the most talked about newsmagazine in Hispanic television, airing nationwide in the U.S. and 15 Latin American countries, and produced by Telemundo/NBC.

The Brillante Awards evening gala brings the conference to a spectacular close with an extraordinary concert by Alejandro Fernandez, a popular Latin Grammy-winning Mexican singer who has sold over 15 million copies in over 20 countries. He is an authentic ambassador of Mexico.

SHPE was founded in Los Angeles, Calif., in 1974 by a group of engineers employed by the City of Los Angeles. Their objective was to form a national organization of professional engineers to serve as role models in the Hispanic community. The organization was formed on the belief that heritage, social responsibility and a desire to improve the equality of all people, can be achieved through the use of science and technology.

The concept of networking was the key basis for the organization. SHPE quickly established two student chapters to begin the network that would grow to encompass the nation as well as reach countries outside the United States. Today, SHPE enjoys a strong but independent network of professional and student chapters throughout the nation.

Garcia, who was first introduced to SHPE while attending Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo, Calif.), quickly recognized the strength of the organization as a professional and unique collaboration of individuals that prepared students for a successful engineering career.

Garcia shared, “The local SHPE Professional Chapter has made great strides in promoting the organization and contributing to the community in a positive manner. As President of the Twin Cities SHPE Professional Chapter, I look forward to assisting the organization in improving their visibility and promoting the essence of the organization, furthering the message of excellence in education, professional pursuits and leadership.”
