WHY:
The CEO Forum is an event of NAA’s Spring Conference, where corporate CEOs will strategize on increasing the presence of American Latinos serving on corporate boards in the U.S. and the benefit of diversity in upper levels of corporate governance and management. Although 13 percent of the U.S. population is Latino, they only hold 1.8 percent of corporate board posts. “Considering the strength of the buying power of the growing American Latino market, estimated at $600 billion dollars, increased American Latino representation in national leadership is a good and imperative business decision”, indicated Moctesuma Esparza, New America Alliance Chair of the Board.
New America Alliance is a 501 (C) 6 organization of American Latino business leaders united to promote the economic advancement of the American Latino community, with a focus on economic and political empowerment, and public advocacy to improve the quality of life in the United States.
