"HLN is providing business leaders, elected officials and Americans – all with shared common values -- a platform to collaborate and turn their vision into a real grassroots effort," said former Governor Jeb Bush. "I am happy to co-chair again with my friend Carlos."

"It is a great opportunity to come together and discuss the issues that most affect our community as Americans. Facing an all-time high 11.4 percent unemployment rate, the Hispanic community has been the most affected by the economic downturn," said Secretary Gutierrez. "Hispanics see the value in a free enterprise system to succeed economically."

"We continue to build on the momentum and enthusiasm of the past HLN conference attendees. Hispanics are leading the way to rebuilding America's dream," said Jennifer Sevilla-Korn, HLN Executive Director. "This conference will bring together the Hispanic grassroots community to not only talk about solutions to our nation's problems, but to put in place a plan of action to make these solutions a reality."

On the eve of Florida's Republican presidential primary the HLN conference is the ideal platform for future presidential candidates, elected officials and community leaders to engage with the Hispanic community.

"I am pleased to participate in an event that is bringing world-class business and government leaders together. With such close commercial and social ties to Latin America, Miami is the ideal venue for this meeting," Gutierrez said. The Annual Meeting of the IDB is the premier forum on Latin American finance, trade, and economic development.

Secretary Gutierrez will deliver a keynote address as part of a panel on competitiveness in the Americas, which will highlight the IDB's role in building member nations' capacity for maintaining and expanding economic activity in an environment of rapidly changing trade conditions.

Others include a seminar on private philanthropy, an event on youth as agents of change, a panel on infrastructure, and a seminar on confronting natural disasters.

"This historic event will again allow Miami to unite the private and public sectors of Latin America and the Caribbean, further highlighting our role as a business center for the region," Arrizurieta said.

Knight Foundation, will moderate a panel of high-level executives including Emilio Azcarraga, Chairman of Televisa; Christina Gold, President and CEO of Western Union; and Bill Rhodes, Vice Chair Citi. Cesar Alierta, Chairman of Telefonica International, will make a presentation.

"The IDB wants to become the region's preferred partner in private sector development, bringing additional benefits such as mobilization of private bank funds, improved corporate governance and compliance with environmental standards," said IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno. "We want to be closer to our customers and build strategic alliances with governments, privates sector companies and NGOs to bring the benefits of growth to the 70 percent of the population who earn less than $3000 a year."

General Anthony Zinni, Vice President of DynCorp and former CENTCOM Commander, will speak on response and preparedness for natural disasters, a priority of the IDB and an important safeguard of human welfare in the region. Joining General Zinni on the panel will be Roberto Velluntini, Sector Manager, Infrastructure & Environment Dept. IDB; Omar Dario Cardona, a consultant for the IDB on natural disaster issues; Lorenza Martinez Trigueros, General Manager of insurance at the Mexican treasury (Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico); Anne Hassberger, Deputy Head for International Financial Institutions, Federal Dept. of Foreign Affairs, Swiss Agency for Development & Cooperation (Moderator).

"Latin America and the Caribbean are a very important partner," Zinni said. "I am excited to accept the Host Committee's invitation to share my views on how to prepare and mitigate natural disasters. This is of vital importance to the development and growth of the region and ultimately it impacts people the most."

As part of the forum Celebrities and Youth as Agents of Change, the IDB and MTV Latin America will present the U.S. premier of their television program on youth as agents of change. The program celebrates youth whose leadership has made a difference in their community. As part of a roundtable discussion led by Generation Engage, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing political awareness among young people, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson will participate in an iChat dialogue with youth leaders.

“As the leading advocate for our nation’s more than 2.5 million Hispanic-owned businesses,” said USHCC Board Chairman David C. Lizárraga, “we are greatly honored by President Bush’s decision to address the key leaders assembled from across the country for this important Conference. As in past years, we look forward to the President using this platform to deliver a major policy address dealing with issues of utmost importance to small- and medium-sized businesses that are vital contributors to our nation’s economy.”

Other key officials participating in the Conference include Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, United States Treasurer Anna Cabral, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and numerous other distinguished Members of Congress. Congresswomen Nydia Velazquez and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen will be receiving the 2008 Legislative Awards.

“President Bush’s decision to attend the Legislative Conference follows the MSNBC Democratic Presidential Debate that the USHCC co-sponsored in January,” said Augustine Martinez, USHCC President and CEO. “USHCC’s ability to attract and host Presidential front-runners and U.S. Presidents alike is a testament to our growing influence as a population and economic engine.”

According to the U.S. Census, there are nearly 27 million businesses in the United States. It is projected that by 2010, Hispanic-owned firms will represent 1 out of 10 businesses in the U.S. and collectively generate over $465 billion a year in revenue.

The Legislative Conference brings together the nation’s top business owners, opinion leaders and key governmental and administration officials for a three-day gathering to address the most pressing legislative concerns of the nation’s largest and fastest growing business segment—Hispanic entrepreneurs. Expansion of hemispheric relations and trade, health care, energy efficiency, and small business programs are among the many issues receiving top billing at this year’s Legislative Conference.
