HOPE: 16th Annual Latina Action Day

Sacramento, CA. April 21, 2010 - Once a year, Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE) convenes hundreds of Latina leaders from all regions of California in Sacramento for an annual public policy issues conference, Latina Action Day Sacramento.

This one day conference is designed to facilitate dialogue between corporate and community Latina leaders and elected officials on public policies affecting Latinas in California.

This year, Maria Echaveste was HOPE’s keynote speaker for the Super Charge The Advocate in You Luncheon. Mrs. Echavaste is a UC Berkeley Law School Professor and former assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff to President Clinton.

According to HOPE Latinas in California are advocating for:

1. Improving the college pathway for all students: In 2008, California’s average high school dropout rate was 20.1% (slightly over 1 out of 5 students.) Among Latinos the rate was even higher – 25.5%

2. Removing barriers to good health for all children: 28.1% of children in California are overweight and 75% of these children will continue to be overweight into adulthood.

3. Improving the quality of healthcare for all women: 14.5% of minority women in California either receive late initiated prenatal care or no prenatal care at all.

4. Increasing internet access to all communities: 50% of Latinas still don’t have Internet access.

Latina voters are estimated at 1.6 million in California and have a significant political influence. HOPE.ACT.VOTE. is a statewide initiative that aims to mobilize California’s Latina registered voters to become informed citizens, effective policy advocates, and active civic participants.

Governor Schwarzenegger Opens Office of Economic Development

Sacramento, CA – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger this past Thursday signed an executive order establishing the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GoED,) a one-stop shop to help businesses with the information and resources they need to succeed in California.

“California is the best place in the world to do business, and by cutting red tape and streamlining functions, my Office of Economic Development will make the state an even better partner to the economy,” said Governor Schwarzenegger.

To do business in California you must interact with the state in many ways, such as registering, obtaining licenses and permits and paying taxes. At GoED, experienced staff will guide businesses through the various state requirements and help them access state resources.
GoED is open for business and can be contacted toll free at 877- 345-GoED (4633) or at www.business.ca.gov

Latino professionals Learn From The Winemaker by Adrian Perez

Dressed casually, as if going to a fall wine tasting event, Alex Sotelo walked around politely, introducing himself and listening to ways the 25 Hispanic professionals introduced themselves to him as they enjoyed a cup of coffee and exchanged business cards. The monthly meet-up event held by the Hispanics Mean Business group in San Francisco, California, was featuring Sotelo as the guest speaker to share experiences and tips for improving business. With the majority of attendees dressed professionally, Sotelo was not hard to miss. But it was his message that made him the star of the day.

"Good morning," he told the group once everyone was seated. "My name is Alex Sotelo, I am a winemaker that happens to be Hispanic."

His introduction left some in the room chuckling while others looked a bit puzzled.

"How you introduce yourself is very important," he told the now attentive group. "Many of you told me your name and didn't tell me what you do until after I asked. This is a missed opportunity."

For the next 20-odd minutes, Sotelo shared a variety of tidbits that not only made sense on making a sale, but explained how he got his wine to be served at the White House.

"Many people ask me, how did you get the White House to serve your wine? And, I tell them like I am going to tell you, they look for you," he says. "They get lots of wine sent to them, and they throw it away."

Instead, Sotelo says, he has allowed for people and his product do all the promotion for him. He does not have a wine tasting cellar, but does attend many events where he pours his wine and where key people have learned of his products.

"The key for me is having a good product and having the infrastructure ready to handle the load," Sotelo told the group. "But I did not release my product to Latinos first. Instead I sold it to a small network of people who enjoyed wine and I knew could help me grow. Today, Latinos make up 45 percent of my business."

Sotelo's initial strategy worked, getting him on the cover of the New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, eventually leading to some members of President Barack Obama's staff contacting him to be one of a few vintners whose products would be featured at the White House.

"Mr. Sotelo is a humble man and a good dancer," says Mayra Bautista, member of the Marin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and HMB. "I met him at an event and we danced. I introduced him to some friends as a great dancer when he told us he was actually a winemaker."

The Mexican-born Sotelo became a winemaker at age 25 after working in the industry since his teenage years. As he explains it, education is a very important foundation to have, but becoming a professional at what you do is more important. Providing a good product and service is good, but becoming unique is what helps promote any product or service.

The Hispanics Mean Business is led by Sofia Keck and meets monthly. For more information, visit www.meetup.com/Hispanics/.

U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis and Ambassador of Mexico Arturo Sarukhan celebrate the inaugural “Labor Rights Week” by Jessica Lopez

The U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis and the Ambassador of Mexico Arturo Sarukhan today celebrated the inaugural “Labor Rights Week” that will take place from August 30th to September 4th in 14 cities across the United States.

Labor Rights Week is an important opportunity to ensure that the Mexican community and Mexican workers in the United States are aware of their labor rights. It is a new initiative that brings together the Embassy of Mexico and its consular network in the United States, the U.S. Department of Labor, local authorities, unions, religious groups, and community based organizations with the common goal of better informing workers from Mexico and elsewhere of their rights. Framed around Labor Day, the Labor Rights Week will multiply outreach initiatives developed jointly by participating organizations (through leaflets, posters, press conferences and forums).

“In the past few years, a growing number of immigrant workers were subject to abuse under a mantle of fear that was created by unscrupulous employers that used immigration status to threaten deportation if workers reported discrimination, wage and hour or health and safety violations. We recognize the leadership of Secretary Solis in this issue and believe that joint efforts like Labor Rights Week will strengthen our ability to protect the rights of our nationals abroad,” said Mexican Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan.

“Today we renew our commitment to protecting all workers and welcome this continued partnership with the Mexican government,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “These efforts will help ensure that all workers are treated fairly and will empower them to seek assistance.”

Joe Hansen, President of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) said, “Our communities and neighborhoods are better, safer places to work and live when all workers know and exercise their rights. Semana de Derechos Laborales is a perfect way to empower Mexican national workers with information and promote full participation in the civic fabric of our nation. The UFCW has been a union of immigrants for more than 100 years and this weeks’ program helps ensure that a new generation of workers has the resources to have their voice heard on the job.”

Events for this inaugural Labor Rights Week will be held in the following cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Washington D.C.

These events include: a National Opening event held today in Los Angeles where Secretary Solis was joined by local and community leaders; an information telethon on Labor Rights in Dallas; the unveiling of a permanent Labor Window in the Consulate of Mexico in Chicago with the presence of Joe Hansen, International President of the UFCW; the screening of a film related to labor rights in New York; Community Fair in Phoenix; and workshops on Labor Rights in most participating cities and consulates, among others.

Hispanic Business Owners gathered at the 30th Annual CHCC Convention

The California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (CHCC) hosted its 30th Annual State Convention on August 19-22, 2009. This year’s convention took place at the U.S. Grant Hotel in San Diego, California. The CHCC is the fastest growing regional organization in California.

The goal of this convention was to address issues of relevance to more than 720,000 Hispanics businesses and over 65 local Hispanic chambers in California. Some of this year’s speakers included Jim Steeg, COO San Diego Chargers, Moctesuma Esparza, Chairman and CEO Maya Entertainments Group Inc, California Latino Water Coalition (CLWC) Chairperson -actor and comedian- Paul Rodriguez, and Chairman of the CHCC Ken Macias.

“As Hispanic business ownership continues to rise, it is important that we work together to have our voice heard from the boardrooms of corporate America to the halls of government. This convention serves a valuable role in making that happen,” said Joel Ayala, President and CEO of the CHCC.

The convention featured business procurement/matchmaking sessions with companies such as Hyundai, Sate Farm, PG&E, Sempra, AT&T and more. Some of the corporate sponsors of the convention were Wells Fargo, Verizon, Aetna, Walmart and South West Airlines.

The four day convention was a great opportunity for relationship building with chambers, businesses and corporate partners. With a number of events and workshops catered specifically to the concerns of Hispanic business-owners new entrepreneurs had the chance to learn from successful business veterans. As a young business owner, I felt honored to be part of this experience. Next year’s convention will take place in Los Angeles, California.

Hispanic Heritage Month ROI

In September 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed National Hispanic Heritage Week. Twenty years later it became a month-long celebration (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15). During this time, America celebrates the culture and traditions of those who trace their roots to Spanish-speaking countries.

The month of September is a historically significant one for many Latin American countries. September 15 is the anniversary of the independence of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence on September 16 and 18.

With over 45 million Hispanics in the U.S., it is crucial for marketers to be aware of this important time of year for Hispanic culture. Hispanic Heritage Month presents an opportunity for businesses to integrate themselves into this growing community by showing support. It is important that this support not be seen as token, and one of the best ways to do this is via sponsorship.

There are many levels of sponsorship, so businesses of all sizes can participate in supporting Hispanic Heritage month. No matter who you are or what you sell, there is a place for your brand in the Hispanic community, especially during this time. Hispanics have a strong sense of loyalty and reciprocity, so if you genuinely give to the Hispanic community, rest assured that you will get back. Your ROI will skyrocket if you get creative and position your support strategically during this month.

Hispanic Heritage Month means a great deal to Hispanics. It is the culmination of years of efforts at recognition by American culture. Integrating yourself into the Hispanic market by supporting Hispanic Heritage month could very well set you apart from other brands. Those who support Hispanic Heritage Month appear to be sincerely supporting Hispanic heritage, and not just supporting their own business. Contact me for more information about the numerous opportunities to take part in this special time of year for Hispanics.

Hispanic Cultural Differences - Hispanic Hospitality Aboard the High Seas

The Consulate General of México in San Francisco and México’s Tourism Board invited me for a fantastic event on board the Mexican Navy Tall Ship “Cuauhtémoc.”

The event was part of the “Vive México” campaign. Out of curiosity I wrote an email to the Health & Cultural Liaison of Community Affairs from the Consulate General of Mexico, Mónica Felix and asked her the following question, “Mónica,the invitation reads ‘Vive’, but shouldn’t it be ‘Viva’?”

Mónica replied, “Actually, ‘Vive México’ is the ongoing campaign to celebrate Mexico’s Bicentennial Independence Anniversary and its Centennial Revolution Anniversary, so that’s the whole story behind that name.” So now we know.

The event was incredible, and the boat is magnificent. The crew looked sharp in their white uniforms and was extremely attentive. This reminded me of one of the cultural differences between Hispanics and Americans. Mexicans are one of the most hospitable people I know, they truly make you feel like family no matter whom you are or where you are from.

There are many cultural differences between Hispanics and Americans. One of my American friends once told me “Hispanics tend to invade people’s space;” it was a cultural shock to learn about the importance for Americans of “their space.” When I first came to the U.S. one of the hardest things I had to learn was to shake hands. When I met someone my instinct was to immediately “invade their space” as I leaned over to try to give the person a kiss on the cheek. The Americans I met all reacted in the same way. They took one step back as they saw me getting close and gave me a look that said, “What are you doing?” I always felt the need to apologize because the moment was so culturally awkward you could feel tension in the air.

After four years of being in the U.S. I have learned to shake hands; I don’t try to kiss people on the cheek anymore, but every now and then if I meet someone who I feel an instant connection with I tell them, “I hug” and then I lean forward to embrace them. It’s part of Hispanic culture to be affectionate even among strangers. I think this is great so I am willing to compromise with a hug.

Cross-cultural observations such as this one are vital when marketing to Hispanics and need to be taken into consideration in order for your marketing efforts to be effective and affective.

The Latino Coalition: Fostering Hispanic Businesses

San Francisco - July 15, 2009. The Latino Coalition (TLC) is a non-profit organization based in California, with offices in Washington, DC and Mexico. The organization was established in 1995 to address policy issues that directly affect the well-being of Hispanics in the United States.

TLC came to San Francisco for an executive briefing with panels of discussion about finding new customers in tough times and about strategies for improving Latino healthcare in America.

Hector V. Barreto, Chairman of The Latino Coalition and Jose Gonzales, Co-Chair from The Latino Health Care Task Force served as moderators and contributed with great remarks about economic empowerment, healthcare and education.

“You can’t do anything important by yourself” – Hector V. Barreto

By the end of the event we had learned about how accidental entrepreneurs are our new competition, about how with every problem there is an opportunity and about how winners are the ones that don’t quit.

Some of the vendors present at the event were HP, American Airlines, Intuit, PG&E, Empyrean Insurance and Newtek Insurance. It was an exciting and informative event.

AT&T Park Business Expo Follow-up / Raffle Winner

One of the most popular questions visitors asked me at the business expo was, “Does my marketing campaign have to be in Spanish in order to reach Hispanic customers?”

Quick answer: Not necessarily. No matter the language that you adopt to promote your product or service, the most important aspect of a successful marketing campaign is relevancy. Speaking your Hispanic customers' language does not necessarily imply speaking Spanish. Spanish language alone will not drive Hispanic customers to your business.

Your message will be more relevant to Hispanic customers if:
- You inform yourself about your business and product in relation to the Hispanic market
- You craft your message specifically for a Hispanic audience, and
- You clearly provide the value of your service or product to the Hispanic market.

That being said, even though English fluency is rapidly increasing among Hispanics, it can be harder to reach bilingual Hispanics with generalized marketing efforts based on the fact that they speak English. There are many benefits of marketing in Spanish to Hispanics, but if you decide to market in Spanish be careful with literal translations.

Thank you very much for stopping by the “Sell it in Spanish” booth. You are invited to leave more questions on the "Post a comment" box or contact me directly at sofia.keck@sellitinspanish.com
