The 8th Annual HACR Young Hispanic Corporate Achievers™ (YHCA) Program was held in San Diego, California, April 6-8, and recognized young Hispanic executives in Corporate America who have displayed tremendous leadership and a deep commitment to the Hispanic community. Launched in 2007, the program helps to create a pipeline and cultivate the next generation of Hispanic leaders in Corporate America. HACR YHCA participants were coached through the program by author and motivational speaker Dr. Juana Bordas, president of Mestiza Leadership International. She has guided participants through the transformational HACR YHCA program since its inception. The program began on Sunday, April 6, with an introduction to HACR, and for the next three days, Dr. Bordas led sessions about Hispanic history and evolution, Latino leadership, career strategies, and goal setting. Throughout the program participants were exposed to Hispanic corporate directors and C-Suite executives. On Sunday night, YHCA participants attended an off-site dinner at the Prado in Balboa Park with the HACR Corporate Executives Forum™ (CEF), Corporate Directors Summit™ (CDS), and Corporate

Achievers Summit (CAS) program participants. The keynote speaker for the dinner was Angel Martinez, president and CEO of Deckers Outdoor Corporation. Participants also joined the HACR CAS members for a joint business session featuring best-selling author and leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith. A highlight of the program was the HACR CEO Series with McDonald’s President and CEO Donald Thompson. Thompson, the first African American president and CEO of McDonald’s, candidly spoke his experience about moving up the corporate ladder. The HACR YHCA program concluded with an awards ceremony recognizing the accomplishments and potential of this year’s class. Representatives from HACR YHCA sponsors, Altria and MillersCoors, were on hand at the awards ceremony to provide remarks and congratulate this year’s HACR YHCA class. To date, more than 200 individuals have been selected as HACR Young Hispanic Corporate Achievers™. The next annual meeting will be held in Atlanta at the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead from April 26-28, 2015, and nominations open this summer.
