NSHMBA named Dr. Penley to the board as a result of a change in the board structure to diversify the background and expertise of the board. President Penley serves on numerous boards, both economic and higher education related and his expertise with public research institutions aligns well with the goals of NSHMBA. Before joining Colorado State University, Penley served for many years as a professor of management and dean of the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. Dr. Larry Edward Penley became the 13th president of Colorado State University and Chancellor of the CSU System on August 1, 2003.

Dr. Penley's lifelong commitment to higher education took root at Wake Forest University, where he earned a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Communication and his doctorate in management at the University of Georgia. Following graduate school, he joined the faculty of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Reflecting his strong commitment to international education and understanding, he also has taught at the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey in Mexico and the Universidad de Carabobo in Venezuela.

"Dr. Penley is an excellent addition to our board and will serve the entire NSHMBA organization well. By including different areas of expertise to our board structure, we continue to lift our organization to higher levels and to further our impact on our nation," stated Lourdes Hassler, NSHMBA CEO.

Under the new NSHMBA Board structure, potential board members will undergo selection through a nomination process. The NSHMBA Nominations Committee will review candidates and submit for approval by the national board and chapter presidents. This new process will provide NSHMBA the opportunity to enhance the expertise and leadership of the board with like-minded national leaders from diverse backgrounds.

When asked about the new board structure, Hassler stated, "NSHMBA continues to benefit immeasurably from the commitment and expertise of our board and this enhancement."

Such speculation ranges from potential changes in local community life and culture to public policy.

Researchers at Arizona State University believe that, at least for the city of Phoenix which experienced a phenomenal triple-digit growth rate of 226 percent in its Latino population between 1980 and 2007, they have helped answer a pivotal question regarding impact on local public services.

According to the researchers, they found that Latinos in Phoenix are generally willing to pay for quality public services. Their findings, based upon analysis conducted on data collected by Phoenix-based Behavior Research Center as part of the City of Phoenix’s 2002/2004 Community Attitude Surveys, appear in the June issue of Social Science Quarterly.

NSHMBA created the University Partnership Program in 2006 to provide select academic institutions an expanded pool of qualified Hispanic applicants for graduate business programs. The program also creates a joint partnership opportunity in order to strengthen the pipeline of Hispanic students completing bachelors and masters degrees. The partnership program offers financial assistance in the form of scholarships, fellowships and assistantships. The concept for the program began several years ago when individual NSHMBA chapters around the nation collaborated with local universities to offer financial assistance to deserving candidates. NSHMBA encourages more universities to join its partnership program and help build the number of opportunities available for top Hispanic students seeking MBAs and to develop a close relationship with the NSHMBA local chapters. In 2007, NSHMBA awarded over $1 million in financial assistance to outstanding Hispanics pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or equivalent.
"For the past 18 years, the National Society of Hispanic MBAs has been instrumental in helping Hispanics continue their education and actively pursue Masters of Business Administration degrees. As universities join the NSHMBA University Partnership Program, they benefit from recruiting top notch Hispanic MBA students for their business school," said Lourdes M. Hassler, CEO, NSHMBA. "The universities that are part of the University Partnership Program will have a profound effect on the future landscape of business schools and corporations as we see more diverse MBA students graduate and move on to promising careers."

For that to occur, said Raul Yzagurre, a professor at Arizona State University, large numbers of people need to be personally affected. He points to the transformation of neighborhoods overwhelmed by immigrant Hispanics. At first, he said, small changes such as businesses moving in and putting up signs in Spanish are not seen as threatening.

"But there comes a tipping point when the feelings about those changes turns into fear," Yzagurre said."

In Speak Spanish to Me, the world-premiere comedy at Actors Theatre, a perky blonde's naive notions about Mexican-Americans are the basis of a romance that might be built to last.

It's not just the Latin-lover thing that draws Liz to Frank on the first day of their freshman year at Arizona State University. Raised as a neo-hippie White liberal, the thought that her baggy-pants-wearing suitor might be a migrant worker, valiantly battling his way out of poverty, appeals to her class-conscious idealism."

If that sounds tailor-made for a Valley audience, it is.

"I was looking for a certain kind of play and couldn't find one," says Matthew Wiener, artistic director of Actors Theatre. "It's being written to spec, kind of."

The world-premiere comedy was written by Bernardo Solano, who was born in Colombia and raised in the States with an Ivy League education. It was "kind of " written to spec because it started as a one-act from his college days, inspired by the true story of a Chicano student at Harvard who responded to the pressures of his own culture-clash experience by robbing convenience stores.
