The
LATINA Style 50 awards are the result of
an extensive survey of the recruitment and
employment policies of U.S. corporations as they
pertain to Hispanic. This is the seventh year of
the awards and the second Best Practices
conference.
The conference began with a networking
breakfast, sponsored by McDonald’s Corporation.
Gloria Santona, corporate executive vice
president and general counsel for McDonald’s,
addressed the audience: “From fashion to
finance, LATINA Style has been a
trailblazer in providing information that
Hispanic women need to succeed. At McDonald’s,
we, too, understand the importance of American
Latinas to our business. We’re proud to be
long-time believers in the inclusion and full
participation of Latinas in all aspects of our
society, and in particular the development of
Hispanic professionals in corporate leadership
roles.”
