AT&T set a goal of raising $300,000 this year, which would mean a total donation of $1 million to PADRES since the campaign's inception in 2007.

Throughout the six-week program, donations will be collected at more than 130 AT&T retail locations throughout the Greater Los Angeles area. AT&T is also offering a promotion throughout the duration of the campaign. When customers purchase an LG phone, AT&T will donate $20 to PADRES and the customer will receive a free LOUVER by Louis Verdad designer cap.

"AT&T has been a faithful partner in its commitment to PADRES, the Latino community and in its support of families coping with the devastating effects of childhood cancer," said Eva Longoria Parker, actress and PADRES national spokeswoman. "We're thrilled to launch this year's campaign and eager to reach the $1 million mark. We hope that the community will come together to help us reach that goal."

Cancer strikes approximately 1,500 children annually in California; nearly 50 percent of those affected are Latino. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among children under 15 years old and is second only to accidents in most age groups.(1)

"In times like this it's more important than ever to support organizations such as PADRES that address vital community needs," said Andy Shibley, vice president and general manager of AT&T's Greater Los Angeles Area. "AT&T is pleased to hold the campaign again this year and applaud PADRES and its supporters for championing this cause, which has given hope to so many families."

During the 2008 campaign, AT&T donated $200,000 to PADRES to aid in the organization's mission. To date, AT&T has donated approximately $700,000 to PADRES.

(NYSE: T) today announced that the company has received the top rankings on diversity lists published by two Hispanic magazines for the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion and, more specifically, the Hispanic community.

AT&T ranks No. 1 among Hispanic Business magazine's Diversity Elite, which will be included in the September 2008 issue of the magazine. This recognition is based on the company's commitment to reach out to Hispanics in the areas of recruitment and retention, procurement, philanthropy and marketing. AT&T has been included among the Diversity Elite in past years.

AT&T was also named Company of the Year by LATINA Style magazine, the highest recognition for a company included among the publication's 50 Best Companies for Latinas to Work For in the United States, also known as the LATINA Style 50. The 50 Best Companies list appeared in the August 2008 issue of the magazine.

For the 2008 LATINA Style 50 list, more than 1,000 U.S. corporations were surveyed on items deemed most important by the publication's Hispanic female readers, including mentoring programs, Latina executives and board members, educational opportunities, alternative work policies, dependent/child care support and employee benefits. AT&T has been included among the magazine's 50 Best Companies for 11 consecutive years and was ranked among the top 12 companies in 2007.

In addition to the accolades from Hispanic Business and LATINA Style, AT&T has been selected for Latin Business magazine's Corporate Diversity Honor Roll, which will appear in the Fall 2008 issue of the magazine.

"Diversity and inclusion are woven into the fabric of AT&T's culture, and these attributes permeate every aspect of our business," said Cindy Brinkley, chief diversity officer and senior vice president-Talent Development, AT&T. "We are proud of these recognitions, as they reflect our philosophy and validate our efforts."

This year, AT&T also ranked No. 1 among DiversityBusiness.com's Top Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities because of the consistency and quality of business opportunities that the company grants to minority- and women-owned companies, and AT&T was included among DiversityInc's Top 50 Companies for Diversity.

(NYSE: T) announced today that LULAC will receive a $1 million grant from the AT&T Foundation's Aspire initiative, to implement LULAC's Adelante America program, which will provide academic classes, mentoring and student leadership development for underserved, at-risk Latino teens in grades eight through 10. "This important educational initiative in our community will help ensure that our nation's rich high-tech future and digital empowerment is within reach of our Latino youth," said LULAC president Rosa Rosales. "A good education is the key to a successful future. And as a long-time leader in broadband and mobile communications, and a long-term dependable partner of the Hispanic community, AT&T is once again demonstrating their corporate leadership by keeping the American Dream accessible to Latino students all across the country." The $1 million grant will be spread out over two years and will serve a total of 910 at-risk participants in the eighth through the 10th grade. The Adelante America program will develop services and activities that will link classroom learning with the challenges that students face in post-secondary education and the workplace of the future. The goals include increasing rates of on-time promotion to the next grade; improvement of academic performance as measured by grades and test scores; improvement of interpersonal relationships between the children and their peers, teachers, family and other adults; reduction of the dropout rate, delinquency and gang involvement; and achieving a higher graduation rate for its participants. "As one of the most well-respected advocacy organizations in the country, LULAC will help ensure that Latino students have the tools they need to live up to their maximum educational potential," said Susan Santana, assistant vice president, External Affairs, AT&T. "We are honored to play a small part in helping today's Latino youth become tomorrow's world leaders." The AT&T Foundation's Aspire program was launched earlier this year, in an attempt to address the fact that nearly one-third of U.S. high school students drop out every year, which amounts to one student dropping out every 26 seconds -- a disproportionate number of whom are Hispanics. The $100 million philanthropic effort announced in April reflects AT&T's commitment to help to strengthen student success and workforce readiness. Currently, Latinos are vastly underperforming when compared with other groups. The percentage of adults over the age of 25 that has earned a bachelor's degree or higher, is 27.2 percent. Among Latinos, that percentage is only 12.2 percent. In addition, Hispanic secondary school students have the highest dropout rates of any ethnic or racial group in the U.S. " HispanicTips.com - A Blogante News Service For, From & About Hispanics & Latinos]]> http://js-kit.com/rss/www.hispanictips.com/p=40876 0 http://www.hispanictips.com/2008/06/30/att-unveils-experience-store-in-coral-gables-first-bilingual-att-experience-store-in-florida/ http://www.hispanictips.com/2008/06/30/att-unveils-experience-store-in-coral-gables-first-bilingual-att-experience-store-in-florida/#comments Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:09:45 +0000 Tomas http://www.hispanictips.com/2008/06/30/att-unveils-experience-store-in-coral-gables-first-bilingual-att-experience-store-in-florida/ "AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced the opening of the first AT&T Experience Store(SM) in Florida. The store, located in downtown Coral Gables at 215 Miracle Mile, provides a new way for visitors to experience and shop for communications and entertainment services. The store is the third bilingual AT&T Experience Store in the nation.

The nearly 5,400-square-foot store is larger than the typical AT&T retail store and features several new retail concepts. The store is part of the transition from a wireless-centric space to a high-energy retail format that showcases AT&T’s extensive portfolio of wireless, broadband, video and wireline products and services, such as AT&T U-verse(SM) services.

"The AT&T Experience Store in Coral Gables is what AT&T is all about," said Rich Guidotti, vice president and general manager of AT&T’s South Florida wireless operations. "All of the communications and entertainment products that consumers want are in one place and under one roof."

As the first bilingual AT&T Experience Store in Florida, the Coral Gables store will feature merchandising and interactive stations in both English and Spanish and a bilingual staff of 26 communications specialists to better serve Hispanic consumers.

"The Hispanic population represents the largest consumer segment in Miami-Dade County," Guidotti said. "We are proud to employ a bilingual staff that is trained to help our customers choose from a wide range of communications and entertainment products and services. The new Coral Gables AT&T Experience Store provides a convenient, comfortable and culturally friendly shopping environment for our Hispanic customers."

The AT&T Experience Store features a fully integrated media experience, including five integrated Experience Stations that encourage customer interaction with cutting-edge wireline, wireless and converged services. In addition, knowledgeable store personnel -- 29 total -- are on hand throughout the store and around each station to guide consumers through product trials and purchasing decisions.

Each AT&T Customer Experience Station features:

-- AT&T Advanced TV Zone. Customers can view AT&T U-verse TV and AT&T | DISH Network(R) service demonstrations, enabling them to test-drive Web-based and wireless remote access features, High Definition (HD) programming and browse an extensive Video On Demand catalogue.

-- AT&T Home Connections. Customers can browse the Internet, customize AT&T home-page portals and test AT&T Remote Monitor through a remote in-store camera.

-- Entertainment and Style. Customers can review the latest and greatest 3G wireless devices that allow users to download music, stream video and surf the Web.

-- Productivity Solutions. Geared toward road warriors and small business owners, customers can test wireless phones, BlackBerry(R) devices, smartphones, GPS and Bluetooth(R) accessories by using e-mail and Microsoft Corp. applications.

-- Talk, Text and Browse. Customers can try out GoPhone(R), our popular prepaid service, and an assortment of wireless handsets.

"From the moment customers enter to the moment they leave, they will be able to experience AT&T’s full suite of services for the first time," said Marshall Criser lll, president of AT&T Florida. "The new Coral Gables store is part of a key initiative in the company’s ongoing commitment to integrate its wireline and wireless operations and give consumers greater convenience and a streamlined approach to the way they purchase and interact with our products."

Other unique features of the Coral Gables AT&T Experience Store include more than 20 screens that highlight AT&T products and services, encourage direct customer interaction and allow store personnel to "show and tell." Digital messages that inform customers about the variety of lifestyle, product and feature benefits are displayed throughout the store on three 32-inch LCD screens. A series of touch-screen Information Stations also provide valuable information to assist employees and customers during the sales process.

The AT&T Coral Gables Experience Store is the seventh AT&T Experience Store to open in the nine-state Southeast region and the 20th nationwide. Store hours are 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Sunday.

AT&T has approximately 330 retail locations throughout South Florida, including company-owned stores, agents and national retailers."

De la Vega will receive the Triunfador Award at the HSF Alumni Hall of Fame gala on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2008, at the Pierre Hotel in New York City.

Each year, HSF selects five accomplished Latinos to induct into its prestigious Alumni Hall of Fame. Four of the exceptional individuals are HSF alumni, who each received HSF scholarships to support their higher education aspirations. A fifth individual, while not a former HSF Scholar, is presented with the honorary Triunfador Award for realizing the ultimate professional achievement and "raising the bar."

"We are proud to honor Mr. de la Vega because he personifies the mission and values of HSF," said Frank D. Alvarez, HSF President & CEO. "He is an inspiration to aspiring Latinos everywhere. His success story is testimony to the impact of higher education and the tremendous difference it makes in a life."

Alvarez said de la Vega serves as a positive role model for Latino students, which is a trademark of previous HSF Alumni Hall of Fame honorees. "Annually, the inspiring stories of HSF's inductees put a face on and demonstrate the power of higher education," he said.

A native of Cuba, de la Vega came to the United States alone at the age of 10, while his parents were forced to stay behind because of complications with their immigration documentation. Leaving behind everything but his suitcase and the clothes on his back, de la Vega lived with family friends in Miami for four years before reuniting with his parents and sister.

In spite of these challenges, de la Vega's family instilled in him an appreciation for education, and he went on to earn a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Florida Atlantic University and an MBA from Northern Illinois University. In addition to his degrees, de la Vega completed the Executive Program at the University of Virginia.

De la Vega's commitment to community service is reflected by his active participation in many youth-oriented organizations. He serves as Vice Chairman of the Board for Junior Achievement (JA) Worldwide and sits on the Boy Scouts of America Board of Directors. He also serves as Chairman of the JA Hispanic Initiative, a program that encourages Hispanic students to remain in school and prepare for success in the business world.

"I am honored to be a part of HSF and the valuable work it does in developing the next generation of Latino leaders," de la Vega said. "I have always believed in helping young people recognize their own potential and become all they can be. And HSF is among the most successful organizations in our country at doing this."

De la Vega has had a distinguished career in telecommunications. In 1974, he started with BellSouth (then Southern Bell) as a Management Assistant. He worked his way up to directing all of BellSouth's Telecommunications Network Operations for Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. He has also worked internationally, serving as President — BellSouth Latin America, with overall responsibility for BellSouth's Central and South American operations in 11 countries.

In 2004, de la Vega joined Cingular Wireless as Chief Operating Officer and successfully guided the company through a landmark merger with AT&T Wireless to create the nation's largest wireless phone company.

In late 2007, shortly after the new AT&T acquired BellSouth and took full ownership of Cingular, de la Vega was appointed President and CEO of AT&T Mobility, ensuring the successful rebranding of the company and the launch of the revolutionary iPhone, as well as a continuum of other innovative devices and services.

De la Vega is the first honoree to be selected for the 2008 recognition. The four alumni recipients will be announced in July."

(NYSE: T) today announced the launch of AT&T Aspire, a $100 million philanthropic program, which includes job shadowing for 100,000 students nationwide, to help strengthen student success and workforce readiness. "In the U.S., 1.2 million students drop out of high school every year. This has implications for individuals and for our nation's global economic leadership," said AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson, who will address the topic Thursday at the Economic Club of Chicago. "AT&T Aspire is about supporting the great work already underway to help our kids succeed in school, and helping students see the connection between education and their best future." Through the Aspire initiative, AT&T and the AT&T Foundation are committing $100 million (over four years, 2008 - 2011) toward high school success and workforce readiness. The platform includes four key elements: -- Grants to schools and nonprofit organizations that are focused on helping students graduate from high school and become better prepared for college and/or the workforce. -- A student job shadowing initiative, involving 400,000 AT&T employee hours, that will give 100,000 students a firsthand look at the skills they will need to succeed in the 21st century workforce. -- The underwriting of national research that will explore the practitioner perspective (teachers, principals, superintendents, school counselors and school board members) on the high school dropout issue. -- Support for 100 state and community Dropout Prevention summits, announced earlier this month by America's Promise Alliance. America's Promise Alliance recently noted that nearly one-third of U.S. high school students drop out before graduating -- with about 7,000 students dropping out every school day, or one every 26 seconds. And, March statistics from the U.S. Labor Department show that the 8.2 percent jobless rate for Americans with less than a high school education is 60 percent higher than the overall jobless rate of 5.1 percent. This issue has significant long-term implications for workforce readiness and continued U.S. leadership in the global economy, Stephenson said. According to the Alliance for Excellent Education, students who are unprepared to enter college cost the U.S. economy more than $3.7 billion annually in lost earnings and remedial education costs. And, according to the landmark study "The Silent Epidemic" by John Bridgeland, a high school dropout earns, on average, $9,200 less a year than a high school graduate and about $1 million less over a lifetime than a college graduate. $100 Million AT&T Aspire Program Will Fund Education, Workforce Grants As one of the largest-ever corporate commitments to high school retention and workforce readiness, the $100 million AT&T Aspire program will support proven organizations that promote educational success, from the classroom to the workplace. Beginning this month, the AT&T Foundation -- the corporate philanthropy organization of AT&T Inc. -- will solicit grant proposals from schools and local organizations focused on high school retention. AT&T Launches Unprecedented Companywide Job Shadow Initiative The company's job shadowing initiative involves committing 400,000 employee volunteer hours to reach 100,000 students over the next five years. The program will pair AT&T employees with students in grades 9-12 so that students can experience the world of work and see firsthand the kinds of skills necessary to be successful in the workplace. "AT&T is uniquely positioned to inspire tomorrow's workforce through job shadowing," said Bill Blase, senior executive vice president, Human Resources for AT&T. "With more than 300,000 employees, we are ready to motivate students and show them what a dynamic and diverse workplace is all about." AT&T will work with Junior Achievement to administer and execute the effort. Junior Achievement is a recognized leader in job shadowing and a key member of the National Job Shadow Coalition, which also includes the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Labor and America's Promise Alliance. The AT&T program is the largest-ever corporate job shadowing initiative Junior Achievement has undertaken. Job shadowing is a proven way to improve high school success. According to Junior Achievement, 79 percent of students participating in job shadowing report that the program increased their desire to stay in school. "We are thrilled that AT&T is joining forces with Junior Achievement to address one of the biggest challenges facing our young people and the businesses for whom they would work -- lack of work-readiness skills," said Jack Kosakowski, executive vice president and chief operating officer of JA Worldwide and president of Junior Achievement USA. "This partnership makes the critical connection between classroom lessons and the world of work so that students enter the workforce ready to contribute and succeed." AT&T's two major unions, the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, are supporting the job shadowing initiative. AT&T to Underwrite Landmark Research, Dropout Prevention Summits Picking up where his seminal education study, "The Silent Epidemic," left off, John Bridgeland will turn his research to the perspectives of teachers and school administrators on the high school dropout crisis, including why students drop out, the barriers to keeping more students engaged and effective strategies to ensure more students stay on track to graduate. The research is being commissioned by AT&T and America's Promise Alliance. "The statistics on our nation's dropout crisis are alarming, and the consequences of this crisis are devastating personally, socially, economically and civically," said Bridgeland. "This research will help provide schools and communities with important new perspectives to design policies and initiatives that will help address the dropout epidemic." In addition, AT&T will help underwrite 100 state and community dropout-prevention summits. Led by America's Promise Alliance -- the nation's largest partnership alliance working on behalf of children and youth -- the summits will be held in all 50 states. The summits will increase public awareness of the dropout crisis, serve as a call to action for all Americans and develop workable solutions to improve graduation rates. "Nearly one-third of all public high school students -- and nearly one-half of minority students -- fail to graduate with their classmates," said Marguerite Kondracke, president and CEO of America's Promise Alliance. "Through our Dropout Prevention summits, we will work closely with states and communities, listening to families, schools and students to find the best ways to fight the growing dropout crisis -- and apply those lessons as quickly as possible." Stephenson said, "Investing in a well-educated workforce may be the single most important thing we can do to help America remain the leader in a digital, global economy."

“Today’s announcement by AT&T comes at a time when the Latino community is looking for ways to improve the education system. Opinion polls consistently show that education is the top priority of Hispanic Americans, and AT&T’s commitment of $100 million to the Aspire program shows its willingness to help improve the education system for Latino students,” said Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO.

“We especially welcome AT&T’s decision to concentrate on high school completion. It directly addresses the fact that barely half of Latino students graduate on time, an issue that is reaching crisis proportions,” added Murguía.

The initiative’s multi-faceted approach to combine research to identify best practices, a grants program to test and refine these practices, and a series of summits across the country to build political will to implement them, exemplifies the kind of comprehensive approach required to address a serious, complex problem.

“We commend AT&T for stepping up to the plate to help all students graduate from high school, prepare to enter higher education, or obtain a job with meaningful opportunities for advancement,” concluded Murguía."
