		<description><![CDATA[Group O's CEO, Gregg Ontiveros, has been recognized by Hispanic Business magazine as one of its "Top 100 Influentials," recognizing his stewardship of the company as it has achieved excellent growth while maintaining a commitment to employee and supplier diversity. Earlier this year, Hispanic Business named Group O to its list of "100 Fastest-Growing Companies" and identified the company as the ninth-largest Hispanic-owned U.S. business in 2010.<br />
<br />
In nominating Mr. Ontiveros for this distinguished award, the editors stated: "Mr. Ontiveros has been deeply involved in Group O and its operations for over 23 years. In addition to his role as CEO, he serves on the Board of Directors. He has been behind the company's significant growth trajectory over the past few years, and has been instrumental in establishing and expanding key financial partners and client relationships that have secured a solid foundation for Group O's continued growth."<br />
<br />
<br />
In the past five years, Group O's workforce has grown by almost forty percent to just over 1,300 employees - and the diversity represented in its workforce is a key differentiator in the value it provides its clients. The resulting ideas, methodologies and critical thinking lead to innovative service offerings and client engagements.<br />
<br />
"I'm honored to have been recognized among the Chicago contingent of Hispanic leaders because Group O is Illinois-based and our corporate history is linked strongly to our region," said Ontiveros. "Yet, our clients -in industries such as telecommunications, consumer packaged goods and heavy equipment manufacturing- have national and global requirements. To meet their needs, we strive to design solutions that embrace the complexities and challenges of delivering significant cost and operational efficiencies in the global marketplace."<br />
<br />

-- National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) names Group O "Regional Supplier of the Year" for 2009<br />
<br />

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>American Airlines has been named one of the Top 60 Companies for Hispanics by Hispanic Business magazine. American achieved this recognition for its commitment to promoting solid diversity initiatives in recruitment and retention of its Board, leadership and personnel, as well as for its dedication to the Hispanic community. This year, American was ranked number 28, 10 points higher than last year – the top airline in the Top 60 Diversity Elite Directory. In addition, American ranked in the top 15 in two of five categories.<br />
<br />
This is the fifth year that American has received the distinction from Hispanic Business, which uses multiple criteria to measure U.S. companies' commitment to diverse hiring, promotion, marketing, philanthropy, and supplier diversity.<br />
<br />
"American Airlines scored high in several of our ranking categories, including supplier diversity, marketing and community outreach, and diversity retention and promotion, and the fact that they climbed 10 points is a significant achievement to be proud of," said Michael Caplinger, Research Supervisor with Hispanic Business Inc. "American continues to work in a positive direction to promote diversity within the organization."<br />
<br />
American's Supplier Diversity Program assures the inclusion of minorities, women and LGBT-owned companies in procurement and construction opportunities. Its Diversity Leadership Strategy focuses on establishing best practices in employment and advancement, inclusive work practices, diverse segment marketing, and diversity education.<br />
<br />
"Our focus on diversity and inclusion at American Airlines is embedded throughout our organization from the Board of Directors and extending across our team- from the newest hire to the most senior executive," said Lauri Curtis, American's Vice President – Diversity and Leadership Strategies. "Our diversity initiatives play an intricate role in our greater mission of connecting the world, and as we face tough competition in an increasingly globalized market place, our employees' different perspectives are essential to our long-term success. Our customers receive our industry-leading products and services thanks to the dedicated and passionate people who reflect the different communities we serve."<br />
<br />
American's Hispanic Latino Employee Resource Group (HLERG)<br />
<br />
The Hispanic Latino Employee Resource Group (HLERG), founded in March 1997, is another example of American's commitment to the U.S. Hispanic market. Its mission is to promote an environment that facilitates the hiring, professional development, and promotional opportunities of Hispanic employees, while enhancing American's global competitiveness and its image.<br />
<br />
American's Community Involvement and Service<br />
<br />
American Airlines has a long history of involvement with, and support for, the Hispanic community across the United States, also partnering with pillar Hispanic community organizations at both the local and national level. Since 1941, when service was first launched to Mexico, American has focused on the U.S. Hispanic market – a market that has been, and continues to be, a thriving opportunity for the company.<br />
<br />
American is Latin America's premier airline, offering more flights to more destinations than any other carrier. American's Latin America/Mexico route system encompasses 41 destinations in 17 countries and includes five American Eagle destinations in Mexico.<br />
<br />
American offers Hispanic travelers unparalleled flight choices on a global route network thanks to our oneworld® Alliance partners, the AAdvantage® frequent flyer program and Admirals Clubs lounges at more than 40 airports around the world.<br />
