Employment and Diversity
 
Homeland is hiring

Suit claims Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) biased against hiring Latinos
A lawsuit brought by a former manager in BART's Office of Civil Rights alleges that the federally funded agency excluded Latinos from hiring, recruitment and promotion, favoring certain minorities over others.

Financial Fluency

Hispanic Business & Latino Leaders
 
More color behind the screen, please
Universal Pictures is set to distribute five multiethnic films produced by John Singleton ("Boyz N the Hood," "Four Brothers" and "2 Fast 2 Furious"), the first of which will center around a Latino mother and son. Despite this positive news, minorities are still vastly under represented in executive positions in Hollywood.

Latino marketing goes mainstream
Prime-time ads are breaking new ground by recognizing the rise of Hispanic consumers. Instead of solely trying to target the Hispanic market in Spanish, companies like Toyota are now creating mainstream commercial campaigns that attempt to reach Hispanics in English.

Executive Appointments

  • Jorge Enderica has been appointed to the position of Director, Business Development & Hispanic Marketing for Old Mutual Financial Network (OMFN). Mr. Enderica will lead all sales, marketing and operational aspects of OMFN's en Espanol initiative.
  • Robert S. McAdam, Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, has joined the Hispanic Media Corporate Council (HMCC) at the National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP), a select group of media industry executives who examine Hispanic consumer trends and media research.
