6th Annual Leadership Development Conference
Nuestras Voces:
Finding & Using Our Own Voice
PRESS RELEASE:
"Conference Tackles Impact of Cultural Diversity in Workplace" - February 8, 2010
HPGM proudly invites you to attend its 6th Annual Leadership Conference. In this event we explore different dimensions of leadership -- particularly from the perspective of Hispanic professionals. This year we focus on ‘finding and using our own true voice’ as a critical and powerful way to becoming a more genuine and high-impact leader. We explore this idea through a day-long conversation featuring nationally-reknowned thinkers, local leaders, entrepreneurs and others. We invite you to join us in hearing these different voices and perspectives, and sharing your own.
Here are some of the benefits of the conference:
- Learn from accomplished keynote speakers and panelists eager to share their experiences and knowledge with you
- Gain valuable tools to enhance your leadership skills
- Network with other community, corporate and entrepreneurial leaders
- Connect with culturally diverse talent
