HACR Program on Corporate Responsibility
Good evening. I'm honored to be invited to speak to you this evening in my old stomping grounds. A trip to Beantown is always high on my list but particularly when it includes speaking at Harvard. Tonight I'd like to thank Carlos Orta and Rima Matsumoto for that opportunity. HACR has truly been a visionary organization when it has come to the role of Hispanic inclusion in corporate America. As a watchdog of the industry, the regular reports produced by, and conferences hosted by, HACR have been a powerful tool in taking the industry to task for its failure to quickly embrace diversity.
I also wish to give a special thanks to Professor Jay Lorsch, who has been committed to training directors at Harvard's Director School and promoting diversity on boards. And, I commend Harvard Business School for recognizing the importance of providing an avenue for meeting the goal of minority representation. The Executive Education Program on Corporate Governance has created a feeder pool of highly qualified candidates to serve as directors on corporate boards.
