SUCCASUNNA, NJ/EWORLDWIRE/Sep. 19, 2006 --- Eworldwire Hispanic Outreach's account manager Paola Valencia was invited to attend by Morris County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President Reynaldo Caudillo and learned first-hand more about the ongoing efforts of others in Latin communities.
A first-generation Colombian descendant herself, Valencia services the Hispanic community through the newswire, Eworldwire. She works to publicize the developments of the Hispanic Chambers of Commerce and of growing businesses - both those owned by Hispanics seeking to widen their reach and those seeking to reach Hispanics - across and U.S. and around the world. "To elevate the image of the Hispanic community, members want to spread news of positive activities and progress occurring in our Latin communities to the media - that's what I'm working to make happen," said Valencia.
The Global Compact Corporate and Social Responsibility Conference held last week at the United Nations Building in New York was directed by Esperanza Porras-Field National Chair for the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and attended by dignitaries from Spanish-speaking countries around the world.
The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in coordination with other Hispanic chambers of commerce and the United Nations has concrete plans to engage citizens, immigrants, business owners, advocates, students, and families to participate to bring order to social surroundings through a coordinated effort by the various groups.
Key speakers at the Global Compact were:
- George Kell - Director of the United National Global Compact
- Francis Lorenzo - Ambassador of the Dominican Republic
- George Franco - Chair of USCHH
- Frank Lopez - Vice-Chair of USCHH
- David Stillman - Director of Public and Private Alliance
- Arun Kashyap - Director of the United Nations Development
- Enid Toro De Baez - USCHH Board Member
- Ed Diaz - Region V Chair
Among those attending were Rev. Carmen Hernandez, founder and president of the New York City LGBT Chamber of Commerce, the new voice for the Hispanic Gay and Lesbian community. Other notable attendees were executive directors of various national Chambers of Commerce; International Immigrants Foundation Advertising and Marketing Director Jack Mardach and Department of Youth and Community Development Director of Community Relations Sara E. Vidal.
The Morris County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is also stirring up such great excitement and activity with its ongoing successes that during the 27th Philadelphia United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Conference (USCHH) on September 20-23, 2006 in Philadelphia, Pa, it will be named "Best Medium Size Chamber" in Region V. Porras-Field’s outreach efforts have assisted in raising $4 million and have given her recognition as a strong leader in the Hispanic community.
Paola Valencia will also be in attendance this Friday, September 22, 2006 at the USHCC Conference for the Business Expo to meet and greet fellow Hispanics and support the Morris County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
