CORPORATE ACHIEVERS SUMMIT™ RECAP2

The fifth annual HACR Corporate Achievers Summit™ (CAS) was held in Atlanta, Ga., April 24-26 at the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead. Launched in 2011, the HACR CAS is HACR’s newest program and is open to all former HACR Young Hispanic Corporate Achievers™ (YHCA) program participants. CAS provides a support network for former HACR YHCA participants through leadership development, professional training sessions, and continued networking.

On Friday, April 24, the HACR CAS kicked off with a joint HACR Corporate Directors Summit™ (CDS), Corporate Executives Forum™ (CEF), and CAS welcome reception and dinner. The joint event provides CAS participants the valuable opportunity to network with top Hispanic executives and board directors. CAS participants enjoyed a fireside chat between HACR President and CEO Cid D. Wilson and ADP President and CEO Carlos Rodriguez. Rodriguez spoke about his path to CEO from his humble beginnings in Miami, and the importance of perseverance. After dinner, participants joined executives and board

directors for Hispanic Executive magazine and Morgan Stanley’s “Best of the Boardroom” reception.

The next day, participants enjoyed a networking breakfast, followed by three intensive business sessions. The first session was titled, “Are you a 21st Century Leader?” and featured Roselinde Torres, renowned leadership expert and senior partner and Boston Consulting Group Fellow. Before lunch, CAS participants spent time with Monique Berke, vice president of business transformation, CBL & Associate Properties, Inc., who spoke about “Leadership from the Inside Out – Giving Voice to the Leader Within.” After the CAS networking luncheon, participants attended their final business session of the day with Dr. Keith Eigel, co-founder of the Leaders Lyceum, which aims to accelerate the development of leaders to a place of greater maturity and effectiveness. The CAS program concluded its first day of programming with the CAS strategic planning session followed by the Joint CAS/YHCA welcome reception sponsored by Johnson & Johnson and MillerCoors.

On Sunday, CAS participants enjoyed a panel featuring top Hispanic executives from the HACR Corporate Executives Forum™ (CEF). The first business session featured John Rosero, vice president, chief legal officer, and secretary of Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. For the Sunday luncheon, participants were treated to Gina Rudan’s lively “Unleash Your Practical Genius” presentation. Rudan is the president of Genuine Insights, Inc., a diversity business partner at Google, and best-selling author of “Practical Genius.”

During the afternoon, the CAS joined HACR YHCA participants for a combined business session featuring Richard Montañez, vice president of multicultural sales and community activation, PepsiCo North America, and author of “A Boy, a Burrito, and a Cookie: From Janitor to Executive.” Afterward, CAS and HACR YHCA members attended a meet and greet led by Dr. Juana Bordas, president of Mestiza Leadership International. That evening, the CAS concluded its program alongside CDS, CEF, and HACR YHCA participants, with a final reception and dinner sponsored by Target Corporation. During the dinner at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Julio Portalatin, president and CEO of Mercer, shared insights from his own career, which no doubt left CAS participants with significant inspiration.

Upon their return to the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead, all program participants were invited to an after-dinner

reception sponsored by Anheuser-Busch to close out the 2015 program.

We look forward to celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2016 at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Washington, D.C. on April 29-May 3, 2016.
