Updated – 2013 Latinas of Influence Listing

Hispanic Lifestyle is proud to present our 2013 Latinas of Influence. During Women’s History month (March 1 – 31) Hispanic Lifestyle will post daily on our website the professional biographies and video interviews of these Latinas of Influence. Additional postings of Inspiring Latinas who have appeared on our television program were featured during Women’s History month.

Our Latinas of Influence reception was sponsored by SprintBank of America, Southwest AirlinesSouthern California Edison Ashely Furniture Industries, and Calumet Photographic.

The Selection Process
During the months of December 2012 and part of January 2013, Hispanic Lifestyle reached out to our audience and requested nominations for Latinas of Influence. Four categories were outlined, business, community service, education and entertainment. From the responses we received, we choose 31 Latinas, one for each day of Women’s History month to be highlighted. These Latinas are singled out because of their professional accomplishments and community service. Several of the Latinas appearing on our list have previously appeared on our television program as a result of their personal and professional achievements.

I would like to congratulate our 2013 Latinas of Influence for your inspiration and commitment to making our communities better for all us.
Richard Sandoval President, Hispanic Lifestyle
