Even the Best Solutions Still Need Great Leadership

Like many of you, I subscribe to numerous informational resources (Google, RSS, etc.) that send me alerts, emails, and links to research or studies on a given topic (if you’re not doing this you should be!). As you might guess, information that I receive focuses on the Hispanic workforce, Hispanics and college trends, and other…

Recovery Update

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update. Surgery went well, and I’m now in full recovery mode. Today is Day 5 and was hoping to be home by now; however, there’s are few “internal process” functions that need to happen before I can leave. Thanks to all of you for your emails and notes…

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

Sometimes you just have days when the news isn’t always positive when it comes to Hispanics and other minorities. Two sobering but interesting articles point to the impact the current economic environment is taking on Hispanics. Life’s challenges teach us that any endeavor usually means that you often take two steps back in order to take…

What Box Do I Check?
