Session 1:
Nurturing Excellence: Developing Latina
Executive Talent
Focus: A strong mentoring
relationship has been identified as one
of the key components of an employee’s
successful development in the workplace.
An employee working in a positive
environment reflects in the higher
quality of their work and their
sustained level of motivation. Hopes for
a better future are also essential to
maintain an employee’s good health.

Session 2:
Preparing For Economic Survival
Salon F & G
Focus: The current difficult
economic state has caught many ill-equipped.
How does one prepare for a financial
downturn and create a recovery plan? How
do you respond if your 401K has lost
significant value? What can you do if
your children's education fund has been
severely impacted? How do you prepare in
case of a downsizing? LATINA Style
Magazine will follow up to this
discussion with a continuing series of
articles in 2009 focusing on economic
issues impacting the Latina community.

Executive Round Table: Diversity as a
Business Imperative
Salon F & G
Focus: Globalization and changing
demographics have made it mandatory for
corporations to develop a workforce that
fully
understands the idiosyncrasies of the
diverse cultures their companies are
working in. Companies that have prepared
for this
eventuality are experiencing a
distinctive competitive advantage.
