Tomas — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:49:48 +0000

Chrysler Group LLC has been named to Hispanic Business magazine's Diversity Elite 60, a list of the nation's top organizations that promote and model diversity in the workplace.

The 60 organizations included on the Diversity Elite 60 are ranked according to their performance on more than 32 variables that measure a company's commitment to Hispanic hiring, promotion, marketing, philanthropy and supplier diversity. To compile its 2009 Diversity Elite Scorecard, Hispanic Business received input from top Fortune 1000 companies, American subsidiaries of Global 500 companies, and large U.S. public and private companies. Chrysler Group ranked 18th on the list of 60 leading organizations and was the highest ranked automaker in 2009.

According to Hispanic Business, companies on the Diversity Elite 60 list went well beyond workforce diversity initiatives and implemented strategies to reach more hispanic customers and increase their businesses with minority- and hispanic-owned suppliers. "Companies on the list met or exceeded criteria in diversity measures including: board and leadership, recruitment, retention and promotion, marketing and community outreach and supplier diversity," Hispanic Business noted.

"This recognition is validation of Chrysler Group's enterprise-wide approach to diversity," said Lisa J. Wicker, Director - Talent Management, Global Diversity and Leadership Development, Chrysler Group LLC. "Chrysler Group is gratified that Hispanic Business has joined Working Mother and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation in appreciating the value and substance of our commitment to developing one united, diverse team at our Company."

Recently, Chrysler Group was named one of the "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers" by Working Mother magazine, the 12th time Chrysler Group has achieved this prestigious benchmark, and the second consecutive year the Company was the only automaker to be included on the list. In addition, Chrysler Group was recently recognized by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation as one of 305 leading corporations to score a perfect 100 percent on the foundation's 2010 Corporate Equality Index, which rates corporations annually based on their lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workplace policies and benefits. This is the fourth time the Company has achieved a perfect score on this important diversity index.

"Hispanic Business Magazine named nine Hispanic-owned Chrysler LLC dealers to its 2008 annual "Top 500" U.S. Hispanic-owned companies list. Dealers made the list based on the following criteria: Revenue dollars; Hispanic ownership of at least 51 percent; and fully operational for the 2007 calendar year.
Hispanic Business Magazine's list included three Chrysler dealers in the top 10. The top dealer, ranked No. 3, was Lloyd Chavez Jr. of the Burt Automotive Network in Centennial, Colo., which includes Burt Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Parker, Colo., and other franchises. The dealership group boasted $2.12 billion in revenue last year. The second dealer was Ernesto Ancira Jr. of Ancira Enterprises Inc., which was ranked No. 7 and grossed $691.26 million. Ancira Enterprises includes Ancira 281 North Chrysler Jeep; Ancira Dodge; and Ancira Motor Co., among its many franchises. Also on the list was Frank Rodriguez of Greenway Ford Inc., at No. 9, which grossed $520.13 million.

In total, the nine dealers grossed more than $4 billion* last year.
"Chrysler's Hispanic dealers are an economic force in this country," said Cecil Ward, Senior Manager - Network Diversity and Dealer Development.

tomasz — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:51:29 +0000

"At a standing room only event LATINA Style Magazine proudly celebrated its 10th Year Anniversary of the LATINA Style 50 Awards program. U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao delivered the keynote remarks for the eight consecutive year. PepsiCo Inc. was honored as the company of the year.

“We are proud to have reached a milestone for providing a national report that highlights those corporations which practice workplace diversity at the highest standards for our Latina professionals,” says Robert E. Bard, president and CEO of LATINA Style. “This year I am particularly pleased to acknowledge those corporations that have made the Top 50 list every year since 1998: Aetna Inc., Allstate Insurance Co., American Express Co., Citigroup Inc., Colgate-Palmolive Co., Fannie Mae, General Motors Corp., IBM, Merrill Lynch, Principal Financial Group, The Procter & Gamble Co., State Farm Mutual Insurance Companies and Wachovia. These companies have truly shown a commitment to excellence and investment on their precious assets, the Latina professional.”

Companies responding to LATINA Style's questionnaire were evaluated based on issues that LATINA Style readers identified as most important to them in the workplace. Among the principal areas of evaluation were: number of Latina executives, mentoring programs, Latina board members, educational opportunities, alternative work policies, dependent/child care support, employee benefits, women’s issues, job retraining, affinity groups and Hispanic relations.

The number of Hispanic working women in the U.S. workforce exceeds seven and a half million and the numbers continue to rise. LATINA Style 50 companies employ 4,627,936 employees, of those 306,273 are Latinas, representing 6.6% of the total workforce of the selected companies.

The 2007 Company of the Year is New York based, PepsiCo. PepsiCo supports the development of its Latina employees through a myriad of networking groups like the Pepsi Latino Network and Adelante. Past Company of the Year winners since 1998 include Allstate, US West, SBC, Citigroup, Fannie Mae, Verizon, General Mills, Bank of America and McDonalds’.

The LATINA Style 50 Report is the most respected evaluation of corporate America’s career development opportunities for Latinas, and sets the standard for corporate America’s sensitivity to the needs and goals of professional Hispanic women in the workplace.

Linda De Jesús-Cutler Named President of the New GlobalHue Latino

Tomas — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 17:42:02 +0000

"Don Coleman, Chairman and CEO of GlobalHue, announced today that Linda De Jesús-Cutler will join its team as the President of GlobalHue Latino, the No. 1 Hispanic advertising agency in the nation.

“As a powerhouse and long-time marketing and advertising veteran, Linda will be charged with continuing to provide clients with holistic, insightful and results driven communications solutions,” said Coleman.

De Jesús-Cutler will work directly with Laura Marella, GlobalHue Latino Vice Chairman, to strategically lead all of the company’s Hispanic business.

“As GlobalHue redefines how we do business, Linda brings unparalleled expertise of the Hispanic market, leadership skills and a strong vision that will complement and enhance GlobalHue Latino,” said Marella. “It was important for us to bring in one of the leading Hispanic marketing professionals to assist GlobalHue Latino in its efforts to continue to drive new business and strategically direct clients. “

Linda comes to GlobalHue Latino from The Bravo Group where, as President and COO, she helped to build the organization into one of the most respected and effective Hispanic communications companies. She led new business development, winning such prestigious clients as Wrigley, Banco Popular, Mazda, Toys “R” Us, Miller Brewing Company and Astra Zeneca. During her tenure, Linda spearheaded the Gold Effie award winning effort for the U.S. Postal Service.

“The energy and momentum of GlobalHue represents a great next for me,” said De Jesús-Cutler. “Clients like Verizon, Chrysler LLC and the U.S. Census present opportunities to innovate and be a catalyst for insightful Hispanic strategies that drive powerful ideas. The commitment and dedication of these clients to this market make the possibilities endless.”

Linda is a highly recognized advertising and marketing professional. In 2002, she was inducted into the Advertising Hall of Achievement by the American Advertising Federation and was selected by Crain’s New York Business as one of New York’s “40 Under 40” rising stars. In addition, she was the proud recipient of the 100 Hispanic Women organization’s “2004 Excellence in Leadership” award for serving as a role model to other young Latinas and as a leader who understands the importance of giving back to her community. In November 2005, The New York Post identified her as one of the top 50 most powerful women in New York City. She was also honored by Girls Inc. for her outstanding leadership in their Celebration Luncheon, and identified as a “Top Latina” by Hispanic magazine. She was also named to the Advertising Age’s “Women to Watch” list.

NAHJ Honors the Best of 2006

Tomas — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 17:21:00 +0000

"Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez, a journalism professor who helped spearhead a grassroots campaign for meaningful inclusion of Latinos in the upcoming Ken Burns documentary titled THE WAR, and Maria Burns Ortiz, a college soccer columnist with ESPN.com and one of the newer Latino voices in the country's newsrooms, are among those to receive the prestigious n Awards next month from the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. Rivas-Rodriguez, from the University of Texas at Austin, and Burns Ortiz will receive the Leadership Award and the Emerging Journalist of the Year Award, respectively. Others honored with n Awards include Dianne Solis of The Dallas Morning News for her thoughtful and sincere coverage of immigration, Gary Coronado of The Palm Beach Post for his stunning photographs chronicling the physical risks Central Americans take jumping trains to go north and enter the U.S., and Rebecca Aguilar of KDFW-TV Fox 4 in Dallas for her reporting work that gives a voice to those who typically don't have one in the media. They will receive the Frank del Olmo Print Journalist of the Year Award, the Photojournalist of the Year Award and the Broadcast Journalist of the Year Award, respectively. All the n Award recipients and winners in 14 other categories will be honored at the 22nd Annual Noche de Triunfos Journalism Awards Gala on Oct. 4 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C., NAHJ's signature event during Hispanic Heritage month. Gloria Campos Brown, news anchor at WFAA-TV Dallas, the evening's honorary gala chair, and master of ceremonies Antonio Mora, anchor at CBS 2 News Chicago, will host the event attended by journalists, Latino leaders and the community at large. The work honored with the Journalism Awards that evening ”” produced all across the country from Miami and Charlotte, North Carolina in the east to Salinas and San Diego/Baja California in the west ”” range from an editor's impassioned defense of undocumented immigrants in the deep South in his commentary to a documentary investigating California's rural gangs and their devastating effect on Latino families. The award-winning work also chronicled the emotional journey of a woman diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer during her fifth month of pregnancy, investigated the little-known, yet incredible story on the U.S. military's contingency plans to invade Mexico, and descriptively narrates in literary style a woman's story of sexual violence on both sides of the border and the forced silence of undocumented abuse victims who have little hope of finding justice. "Immigration was a big issue in 2006 and in our journalism awards, it shows," said Ivan Roman, NAHJ's executive director. "Much of the winning coverage went way beyond the huge immigration marches to deeply explore other aspects of the debate and tell simply heart-wrenching stories conveying much of the emotion with such wonderful writing that as journalists, they make us proud. It's bound to be an inspiring evening." The five n Awards honor journalists for their professional achievements and their leadership in bringing greater awareness to issues affecting the Latino community, while NAHJ's Journalism Awards are given out to honor Latino journalists for excellence in their specialized fields of work or to any journalist, regardless of ethnicity, for their outstanding coverage of the Latino community. The gala's presenters include Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, Gilbert Bailon, publisher and editor of Al Dia (Dallas) and current president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Maureen Bunyan, anchor of WJLA-TV in Washington, Miguel Almaguer, a reporter with WRC- TV in Washington, and Renay San Miguel, senior vice-president/senior media strategist with Weber Shandwick/WCTV public relations firm and former anchor of CNN Headline News.
