The Chairman Speaks

It’s been said that in politics and in business and perhaps in life itself – timing is everything. With that guideline, there could not be a more appropriate time for The Latino Coalition to launch its nationwide initiative to educate our nation about the trends and challenges in the Hispanic community.

Latino business growth is unprecedented. Hispanic consumer buying power is growing exponentially. Latino names are appearing more and more on the lists of senior management and directors in America’s leading corporations.

At the same time, immigration issues remain a divisive challenge to the country.

The Latino Coalition has history and relationships and resources that enable it to bring together major corporations who share interests, commitments and opportunities with Hispanic small business and Latino consumers.

We’re going to take this show on the road. We’re going to visit many cities throughout the United States to meet with major corporations, government agencies and civic leaders to help bring about more jobs and more economic growth.

We will remain active in political activities. After studying the promises and actions by leaders in both parties, we have determined through our board of directors to endorse a mix of candidates ranging from U.S. Senator Hilary Clinton to U.S. Senator George Allen to U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman. We plan to endorse and support those we endorse actively.

We are in the process of entering into alliances with outstanding companies like American Airlines and Aflac, which will create special opportunities for the Latino population throughout our country both in personal and business benefits.

They say timing is everything. This is our time!
