A Latina Focus
The USHCC is committed to strengthening Latina-owned businesses and maintaining its overall initiative to support Latina entrepreneurs. We emphasize the role of Latinas in business. The Latina Leadership Summit “Building the New Economy with the Help of Latina Entrepreneurs” will explore the path of success for women in traditionally non-female industries and the strategies to thrive in a challenging economy. On September 17, 2009, we will offer a series of events including a networking breakfast, a leaders’ luncheon, several workshops, and a “Trail Blazers” reception, featuring well-noted industry experts who will share timely and relevant business knowledge that can directly impact your business in both the private and public sectors.
