The next generation of leadership for the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce It is with great excitement, pride and pleasure that I share with you the news of the election of the next generation of leadership for the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
At the USHCC Board of Directors meeting held in Dallas, Texas on Friday, August 27, 2010, the Board elected Nina Vaca as incoming Chair and Jeanette Hernandez Prenger as Vice Chair. This new leadership team marks an evolutionary era for the USHCC that sets a tone of fresh, ambitious and proven talent. Ms. Vaca and Ms. Prenger are entrepreneurial role models with a winning attitude, innovative thinking and strong abilities to build relationships.
For the first time in the history of the USHCC, these two critical positions of our organization will be held by two women leaders.
As we prepare to gather for the 31st Annual USHCC National Convention & Business Expo, to be held in Dallas, Texas from September 22, through September 25, we are truly energized by this significant step in the future of our national organization and the positive impact it will have in strengthening our ties to our local Hispanic chamber partners.
Both Ms. Vaca and Ms. Prenger look forward to seeing you at the convention, exchanging ideas and sharing in the vision of the future of America's Hispanic Business Enterprises (HBEs).
