Now in its ninth year, the HACR Young Hispanic Corporate
Achievers™ (YHCA) program was created to recognize
and develop young Hispanic executives in Corporate
America. The annual program was held in Atlanta, Ga.,
on April 26-28 at the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead. This year’s
class featured an impressive roster of young Hispanic
executives, selected to participate based on a combination
of leadership, professional experience, and a history of
community service.
Dr. Juana Bordas, president of Mestiza Leadership
International, once again led the activities and guided
participants through the intensive program. Participants
began the program on Sunday, April 26 with a brief
presentation about HACR delivered by HACR President
and CEO Cid D. Wilson. Dr. Bordas guided the participants
through an introduction and program overview, followed
by a number of workshops aimed at highlighting the
contributions that Hispanics have made in the U.S.
