    LET US LEARN ABOUT OUR ADVERSARIES- LA RAZA

    http://www.nclr.org/content/faqs/detail/39736

    Who are NCLR’s leaders?
    NCLR President Janet Murguía has emerged as a key figure among the next generation of leaders in the Latino community. She began her career in Washington, DC as legislative counsel to former Kansas Congressman Jim Slattery, serving for seven years. She then worked at the White House in various capacities from 1994 to 2000, ultimately as deputy assistant to President Clinton and deputy director of legislative affairs, serving as a senior White House liaison to Congress. Prior to joining NCLR, she was the Executive Vice Chancellor for University Relations at the University of Kansas, overseeing the university's internal and external relations with the public, including governmental and public affairs, and coordinating the university's strategic planning and marketing efforts. Murguía has served on the National Council of La Raza’s Board of Directors and on the Kauffman Foundation Youth Development Board. She is currently a Board member of the Independent Sector, a coalition of leading nonprofits, foundations, and corporations committed to connecting, informing, and advocating on behalf of the nonprofit and philanthropic community.
    In 2004, Hispanic magazine chose her for its annual list of "100 Top Latinas" and Hispanic Business magazine selected her as one of the "100 Most Influential Hispanics."
    In 2005, Hispanic Business magazine named Murguía as a finalist for its “Woman of the Year Award.”
    The NCLR Board Chair is Mónica Lozano, Senior Vice President of Impremedia LLC, the first national Spanish-language newspaper company in the United States. She is also the publisher and Chief Executive Officer of La Opinión, the nation's largest Spanish-language daily newspaper which is headquartered in Los Angeles. Under her direction, La Opinión has entered into important strategic partnerships with key media companies, nonprofits, government, and private businesses, and the paper has received numerous awards for its consistently high editorial quality. It has spearheaded important efforts to inform Latinos about critical issues including education, health care, economic development, financial literacy, financial aid for students, and civic participation. Lozano serves on the Board of Directors of the Walt Disney Company. She also sits on numerous nonprofit boards, including the California HealthCare Foundation and the Weingart Foundation. In 2001, Lozano was appointed to the University of California Board of Regents, and since 1990 has served on the Board of Trustees of the University of Southern California.What constitutes NCLR’s governing structure?
    NCLR’s governing Board of Directors represents the constituency it serves and includes 26 elected members. Bylaws require that the Board include representatives of all geographic regions of the U.S. and all Hispanic subgroups, that half the Board represent Affiliates or have identifiable constituencies, and that the Board include equal representation of men and women. The Board’s leadership consists of a Chairperson and an Executive Committee – members who share responsibility for Board governance and organizational oversight issues. NCLR also receives guidance from its Corporate Board of Advisors (CBA). Established in 1982, the CBA is made up of senior executives and liaison staff from 25 major corporations. The CBA meets with NCLR leadership twice a year to discuss issues and programs of common concern. CBA members also assist NCLR and its network through financial, in-kind, and programmatic support.What publication resources are available from NCLR? NCLR has produced and offers a range of resources to educate the public and the Latino community about important issues. In particular, its publications are a credible source of facts and information on a wide range of issues, from education and health to political and social empowerment.

    2006 NCLR Capital Award Awardees

    NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguía addresses the audience at the 2006 NCLR Capital Awards.

    Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA)
    In 2006, NCLR honored Senator Harkin for his consistent support of NCLR’s programs and mission to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans. NCLR recognized his leadership in endorsing legislation that grants immigrant families access to nutrition programs, including child nutrition and the Food Stamp Program. These vital programs help children access healthy meals during school hours and ensure that the most vulnerable families, including farmworker families, are able to put food on their tables.
    U.S. House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH)
    NCLR also honored U.S. House Majority Leader John Boehner, in his role as Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Education and the Workforce Committee, for his demonstrated leadership in addressing important Latino education issues. NCLR recognized his efforts to support increased access to Head Start and child nutrition programs for farmworkers and limited-English-proficient children and families.

    Radio Tropical, KGLA 1540 AM (Ernesto Schweikert, Owner)


    NCLR presented Radio Tropical with the 2006 Public Service Award for its consistent support of the Spanish-speaking population in New Orleans, particularly in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. As the only resource for vital information at this crucial time, owner Ernesto Schweikert and his colleagues at Radio Tropical went above and beyond their job responsibilities to ensure that the station was manned and broadcasting at all hours of the day. They have since worked tirelessly following the tragedy to connect families, publicize job opportunities, and protect the Hispanic worker.

    Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), Senator Chris Cannon (R-UT), Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN), Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Representative Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Representative James R. Walsh (R-NY), Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senator John McCain (R-AZ), and Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA)

    I think that LaRaza started out as a study group founded by the Ford Foundation. There are articles in the archives.

    I wonder what would happen if we started a group called the National Council of Anglo-Europeans?

    In 2004, Hispanic magazine chose her for its annual list of "100 Top Latinas" and Hispanic Business magazine selected her as one of the "100 Most Influential Hispanics."
    Now tell me people, I need to understand something. I see this kind of thing over and over in this country, racially segregated magazines, awards, study groups, scholarship programs. So what was MLK fighting for? Was it so people could segregate themselves further, or was it to join more cloesly together, become one people, a nation and to stop looking to our ethnicities? I think it was the latter.

    So knowing this, I wonder what would happen if I wanted to start a magazine and name some top white business woman "100 Most Influential White People"? Or, "White Magazine"? Bet it would generate a lot of attention, but not the good kind like the Latino versions do.

    That is what bothers me most about all of this racial "communities", and the segregation of it all. It is against what we all need to be doing. No more racially motivated papers, colleges, magazines, groups or scholarships. None! It is all wrong and is tearing us as a nation apart.
