LATINA Style Magazine,the first national magazine to address the concerns of contemporary Latina working women in the U.S., hosted a business series celebrating "Latina Professional Empowerment" in Miami this week.
This interactive business development program brought together Latina business owners with key corporations and government agencies --- including the Postal Service --- that provide the products and services for their success. At the conference, the Honorable Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen gave opening remarks. The Congresswoman is the first Hispanic woman and first Cuban-American elected to Congress when elected to represent Florida’s 18th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives in 1989. A/District Manager Jeff Becker welcomed Vice President, Employee Development and Diversity Susan LaChance who also gave remarks.
Shipping Solutions Specialist Carlos Berrio gave a presentation on how the Postal Service can help business owners expand globally with postal products. Small business owners, in particular, were pleased that he took the guesswork out of shipping overseas; participants were eager to export their products and market their brand internationally.
The District's GrowGlobal! Team (Jacinto Acebal, Carlos Berrio, Rose Castro, and Edwin Vivas) talked with customers and distributed literature on global products at their booth.
