Nationwide is proud to sponsor the 2011 Ohio Diversity Latino Talent and Leadership Conference and pleased to

The Latino community in central Ohio represents one of the fastest growing in the state, and Nationwide is excited
about the wealth of talent that it brings to Columbus.

This year’s conference will focus on issues related to the recruitment, mentorship, and advancement of Latinos and
other minorities in the workplace. I am excited that conference attendees will walk away with tools and practical
advice to promote leadership development, cross-cultural competency and professional growth for all participants

strate our promise – Esta de Su Lado.

Our promise is personal – with each interaction – every day. We want our customers and associates to know that
we understand and value them. So for Nationwide, it is natural to collaborate with Empleos & Employment and

2 2011 Ohio Diversity Latino Talent & Leadership Conference

Cardinal Health is honored to be a title sponsor of the 2011 Ohio Diversity Latino Talent and Leadership Confer-
ence. Our involvement since its inception three years ago is something we note with pride and look forward to
continuing each year.

At Cardinal Health, we make health care more cost-effective so our customers can focus on their patients. To help
us do this, we recognize the differences that each of our employees brings to the workplace and we leverage their
unique contributions, ideas and perspectives to create an inclusive work environment.

As a board member for the Ohio Latino Conference and member of the conference planning committee, I have an
opportunity to be a part of something of that I believe is profoundly important. The recruitment, mentorship and
advancement of Latinos and other minorities in the workplace is essential to our businesses and it’s critical for our
communities.

The Hispanic American Network is an employee group that promotes Hispanic culture within Cardinal Health.
This enriches our work environment, develops leaders, and raises awareness. We provide mentors and sponsors
to advance Hispanic leadership at Cardinal Health. We partner with community organizations for development,
outreach and recruitment efforts in the Latino community.

In today’s marketplace, diversity is not only a strategic advantage, but also a driver of great performance and an
essential contributor to growth. We must take affirmative steps to make sure that our workplace accurately reflects
the marketplace where we do business. The Ohio Diversity Latino Talent & Leadership Conference provides a
much-needed space for us to come together and work towards this important goal.

Cardinal Health is thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to the successful conference Empleos and Em-
ployment and the Ohio Commission of Latino Affairs bring to the area each year. Here’s to an outstanding 2011
conference!

Sincerely,

Aida Sabo
Vice President of Diversity

Dear colleagues and friends,

¡Bienvenidos a todos! Welcome one and all. On behalf of Empleos & Employment, I am delighted to welcome you to the
Third Annual Ohio Diversity Latino Talent and Leadership Conference.

The Latino population has become the fastest growing ethnic group in Ohio and the United States. The 2010 census informa-
tion demonstrates numbers that we can’t ignore. Latinos now make up 50.5 million of the US population, with 354 thousand
in Ohio. Latinos play an increasingly important role in our economy, government and politics, and are influential across a
wide range of cultural domains.

We have an incredible pool of educated Latinos professionals here in Ohio. Our philosophy on diversity and inclusion is
that in order to see change, we must change too. We believe that diversity begins with ourselves, as we learn how to be more
culturally competent and develop genuine relationships with people who are different from us.

This conference was developed to help create partnerships, expand networks, promote collaboration and grow competencies
among all attendees. Today we will explore issues and practices relating to recruitment, mentorship, business development
and advancement of Latinos and other emerging groups. We will also address cultural understanding, myths, misconcep-
tions, and laws as they apply to minorities in the workplace. Our goal today is to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month, advocate
for the cause of diversity and to educate and connect with each other.

We would like to express our heart-felt gratitude to our planning committee members, who represent our main sponsors,
local and state Latino community leaders, as well as our many supporters and community partners. We are grateful for their
commitment to diversity and inclusion. We also thank all of the speakers, panelists, presenters, volunteers and professionals
and community members in attendance today. Your participation has been vital to the success of this event. We couldn’t have
done it without your support and we want you to know that we appreciate you!

What happens in this conference must not stay here. Ideas and strategies that address talent development, business opportu-
nities and promote cultural competence must be shared with our colleagues, partners and friends.

Again, thank you for joining us in celebrating diversity and our heritage! By working together, we can build bridges of under-
standing, remove walls of separation and create opportunities for us to reach our highest potential as individuals, organiza-
tions, communities and society, as a whole.

Sincerely,

Madrina Award

Karen M. Fasheun

Empleos and Employment and the Ohio Diversity Latino Talent and Leadership Conference is proud to announce Ms. Karen M. Fasheun as this year’s
recipientof the “MADRINA” award.

To become a “Madrina” in Latino families is an important event and time honored tradition; it represents the great responsibility of a lifetime of com-
mitment. Madrinas are chosen for their character, integrity and example of living cherished principles and values. Madrinas serve as role models and
are entrusted by the family with mentoring, guiding, encouraging and even assuming the role of mother in case the parents become deceased. It is not
an easy decision to make and not an easy decision to accept. Once the parents and the Madrina agree, everyone in the community celebrates the event
and shares the good news.

Karen M. Fasheun earned a bachelor’s degree and completed masters level coursework in International Studies at Ohio University. After graduation,
Karen travelled through West Africa, living in the country of Nigeria where she gained appreciation for the women that ran the economy of the market-
place and cottage industries in Lagos. This influenced her work with women-owned cooperatives upon her return to the United States.

Throughout her 30 year career, she has demonstrated leadership in collaborative program development partnering across racial, ethnic, cultural, reli-
gious, socio/economic, disabled, gender, mutigenerational and GLBT communities.

Karen spent most of her professional career working in higher education directing programs focused on multicultural enrollment, retention, and fund-
raising, diversity initiatives for students, faculty, and profit and nonprofit organizations while serving at Ohio University, Ohio Wesleyan University, and
the Ohio State University. During her career in higher education, Karen was responsible for creating strategic enrollment plans, leading highly successful
academic scholarship programs for students of color, leadership training, and creating programming to enhance learning of cultural and racial differ-
ences focused on building a common community.

In 2005 Karen joined Time Warner Cable. She currently leads the overall management of a comprehensive diversity and inclusion program to improve
business by engaging employees and educating customers concerning diversity and inclusion for the states of Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin,
Kansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana. Highlights of the strategic plan include supplier diversity, diversity and inclusion training, diverse talent
acquisition, mentoring programs, employee resource groups, disability awareness training and oversight for the diversity and inclusion councils.

Karen has been a contributor to the success of many conferences and community organizations and currently is a mentor with the Latina Mentoring
Academy, sponsored by the Hispanic Chamber of Columbus. She has served on the planning committee for the Ohio Diversity Latino Talent and Lead-
ership Conference for three years.

Most recently, Karen has found her greatest interest in the area of multigenerational workforce development and disability awareness. Her passion is
connecting people with one another and often hosts networking events at her home connecting women from across the city representing a wide diversity
of backgrounds and life experience.

“I experience my best life through connecting people to the tools for their success – so that they are able to live their best life – in the end we all win...
“We experience our best life by sharing it and together, only then are we able to build a bridge to understanding one another.”
– Karen M. Fasheun

Karen M. Fasheun lives the good values and principles espoused in this conference, a true mentor and champion of diversity. She is a friend and Madrina
of the Latino Community.

Rising Latina

Darsy Amaya

Empleos & Employment, conference committee members, sponsors and the Hispanic Chamber of Columbus are
proud to recognize Ms. Darsy Amaya as the 2011 Emerging Latina Talent.

Darsy and five other Latinas from the Hispanic Chamber of Columbus 2011 Latina Mentoring Academy partici-
pated in an essay competition. Darsy was selected to be our rising speaker for this year’s conference.

Darsy was born and raised for most of her childhood in San Pedro, Honduras, later moving to Queens, New York.
It was during the ‘90’s that she discovered her love for working with the community. She practiced her passion as
a caregiver by working with several volunteer organizations in the health care industry and child care field. After
her move to Columbus Ohio in 2001, Darsy became a certified medical interpreter at Nationwide Children’s Hos-
pital where she is currently employed. This position was made possible due to her previous work experience in
the medical field in combination with her bilingual skills, and love for her culture.

Through the daily interaction with patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Darsy became aware of the urgent
need in the community to educate Latinos by utilizing media. Later she secured an internship with the Telemun-
do Network. There she discovered her path – it was on the other side of the camera as a TV host. Her message
provides awareness on topics such as immigration, health care, and cultural activities.

She is well known and respected in Central Ohio. Darsy’s compassion for Latino culture and community is evi-
dent. She continues to search for better ways to break language barriers and educate across cultures. Her goal is
to help facilitate others to get to the life we all deserve to live.

Time: 9:30 am – 10:30 am
Intended Audience: Human Resources, Diversity and Inclusion practitioners, Executives, Managers and those
tasked with building more effectiveand collaborative teams.
Description: African Americans and Latinos share similar problems and making coalitions of interest to address
them makes logical sense. But, what is logical may not be politically feasible. Why? Cultural competencies to make
coalitions of interest over coalitions of color may not exist by spokespersons and leaders of both groups. That needs
to change. Those of us who care about the quest for collaboration over conflict need to be empowered with the
information as to the critical issues which drive the change agenda of both groups. The workshop will be spirited,
informative, entertaining, well documented and full of practical steps to enhance coalitions rather than chaos be-
tween members of these two demographic groups competing for scarce resources in urban America.

enhance cultural and linguistic competency skills. The goal is to provide attendees basic competency and linguistic
strategies coupled with best practices which lend themselves to building and sustaining a culturally and linguisti-

Workshop 2: Effective Strategies for Entering into Successful Mentor/Mentee Relationships
Time: 10:40 am - 11:40 am
Intended Audience: Human Resources Professionals, Diversity and Inclusion Professionals, Executive Leaders,
Mentors and ARG sponsors.
Description: Mentoring can be a career propellant to assist members of the workforce without social capital to
climb to the top of their professions. First generation members of professional work teams face the daunting task of
identifying caring, competent members of senior leaders and managers in corporations to agree to develop them
for greater leadership positions. Learning how to qualify as mentees/protégés as willing learners with the right
stuff, ready to be led in the eyes senior leaders is a critical first step in that process. Appreciating the differences
between what a mentor, a coach, or an advocate has to offer is also crucial in the quest to excel in complex organi-
zations. Latinas who are hungry to matter and eager to learn will benefit from studying best practices to enter into
respectful, relevant, developmental relationships with older, more experienced, wiser generous senior members
in organizations. But there are goals to be achieved and pitfalls to avoid in the journey. This workshop will focus
on effective strategies for mentoring Latinas in the workplace. Links and reading resources will be identified and
shared in this spirited, highly interactive, entertaining and meaningful training session.

Presenter: Dr. Samuel Betances, Senior Diversity Consultant, Souder, Betances & Associates, Inc.
Moderator: Sandra Lopez, Co-Founder, Latinas in Ohio Facing Challenges and Taking Action

As demonstrated by the information presented above, Latinos continue to struggle in $36,014
areas, such as educational attainment, home ownership and representation in public  
   
office. However, the statistics also demonstrate that Latinos are succeeding in many
other areas, such as in language acquisition, business ownership, and military service.

Ohio’s Latino community is growing at a more rapid pace than last decade. According to the 2000 Census, La-
tinos in Ohio had increased by nearly 30%, while Ohio’s population had decreased by 24,000 residents between
2000 and 2007. According to Census data recently released, Latinos - as a percentage of the population - have
experienced a 63.4% population growth over the 2000 Census.

Ohio’s Hispanic community is estimated at more than 354,000 people, accounting for 3.1 percent of the state’s
total population. For the United States, taken as a whole, the Hispanic population is 45.4 million, or 15 percent
of the nation’s total population, making Hispanics the fastest growing minority group.

Hispanic Economic Development

Nationwide, data on Latinos indicate that the country is in the midst of a dramatic demographic shift that will
most assuredly affect its future complexion and bring about cultural impact. Projections now indicate that the
“browning of America” is not only a growing reality, but that by the year 2050 nearly half of all Americans will
be a member of a minority group (people of color) and the majority will be Hispanic. The rapid rise in the His-
panic population has now made it the largest minority group in the U.S. labor force.


As the fastest growing segment of the United States and its labor force, Latinos are integral to the nation’s eco-
nomic prosperity; in 2050 one in three workers will be Latino. Moreover, the economic status of Hispanics has
implications for the labor force as a whole. Latinos are less likely than their peers to hold financial assets and
build wealth, which means that their labor market status heavily influences their economic standing.

“I don’t want them to think, ‘I need to finish high school and college so I can go work for somebody.’ I want
them to think, ‘I need to finish high school and college so somebody can work for me.’ A. J. Rodriguez, Presi-
dent, San Antonio Chamber of Commerce.

Nationally, Hispanic buying power will increase from $212 billion in 1990 to $1.3 trillion in 2013, an increase of
554.3%, which is higher than the growth rate for any other race or ethnicity. However, Hispanics only hold 3.1%
of all board seats in Fortune 500 companies; entities who are benefitting the most from Latino consumerism
(HACR, 2007).

In order to participate fully in any community’s economic recovery, Latinos must succeed in the areas of grow-
ing income and assets, supporting their children and youth, and overcoming obstacles faced by new immigrants
and citizens alike in education and health care.

A survey of Latino Business Leaders gathered at the 2009 Latino Economic Summit in Washington, DC re-
sponded as follows to their perception of the country’s current economic situation: 54.5% rated the country’s
condition as “poor”; 63.6% stated they “understood the recovery plan” yet 43.2% said over the course of the next
year, they expect the financial situation of their family to “stay about the same;” with 36.4% indicating “improve
some.” Still, Aida Alvarez, the first Latina to serve on the Cabinet as the head of the Small Business Administra-
tion in the Clinton Administration in 1997, stated at the Summit, “I’m very optimistic that…we have the re-
sources, the talent and the spirit of cooperation to turn this moment into a time of even greater opportunity.”

Latina Business Ownership

Latinas are starting business at six times the national average. More than 750,000 US businesses are owned by
Latinas, comprising 37% of all Hispanic businesses. Latina businesses generated about $50 billion in sales in
2007.

In 2007, women comprised 51% of the US population (154.7 million women), and Latinas made up about 15%
of the female population in the US (US Census Bureau). Women account for nearly 47% of the US labor force,
and Latinas about 12% of the female labor force. Nearly 51% of employed women in the US are in manage-
rial and professional positions, yet 3.6% of Latinas are employed in that sector. Pay equity is a major challenge
for women, especially Latinas. Today, women in the labor force earn 78 cents for every dollar a man earns; and
Latinas earn 59 cents and African-American women earn 69 cents, respectively (National Hispanic Leadership
Institute, 2009 Midwest Conference).


Relationship between National and Local Data

Nationwide, data on Latinos indicate that the country is in the midst of a dramatic demographic shift that will
most assuredly affect its future complexion and bring about cultural impact. Projections now indicate that the
“browning of America” is not only a growing reality, but that by the year 2050 nearly half of all Americans will
be a member of a minority group (people of color) and the majority will be Hispanic.

The rapid rise in the Hispanic population has now made it the largest minority group in the U.S. labor force. At
the dawn of the 21st century, Latinos are a group that requires considerable attention. In the U.S., Latinos now
represent the second largest Latino population among all nations in the world, second only to Mexico. Current
trends will increase in upcoming decades for nearly all major geographic areas with large Hispanic concentra-
tions, including Greater Cleveland. Locally, however, this is occurring within the backdrop of other related but
extremely important data for the City.

From the national view, nearly half of the U.S. growth last year was due to the Hispanic growth. Also, Hispanics
were the fastest-growing minority group last year. Likewise, all projections indicate that Latinos in the Cleve-
land area are growing faster than any ethnic group in the Northeast sector of the State.

The impact of the Latino growth is magnified by the fact that the White and African-American populations are
not only stable in size, but also older, with the Latino median age more than one decade younger than the U.S.
average and, as a result, much more active in the workforce population. As an example, as the huge baby boom
generation moves toward retirement, young Latinos are quickly filling in behind them. This is even more the
case for Cleveland, as the city has been losing population.

million Hispanics, identified themselves as “some other race,” a decline from 2000, when
42.2% did. An additional 6%, compared with 6.3% in 2000, checked multiple races.

Although the numerical growth of the Hispanic population since 2000—more than 15 million—
surpassed the totals for the previous two decades, the growth rate of 43% was somewhat
slower than previous decades. Growth rates topped 50% in the 1980s (53%) and 1990s (58%).

The count of the nation’s Hispanic population was slightly larger than expected. The 2010
Census count of Hispanics was 955,000 people and 1.9% larger than the Census Bureau’s latest
population estimate for Hispanics. In some states, especially with small Hispanic populations,
the gap was wider.

Geographically, most Hispanics still live in nine states that have large, long-standing Latino
communities—Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico, New Jersey, New
York and Texas—but the share living in other states has been growing.

In 2010, 76% of Latinos lived in these nine states, compared with 81% in 2000 and 86% in
1990. (In 2000, 50% of Hispanics lived in California and Texas alone. In 2010, that share was
46.5 %.) Despite the pattern of dispersion, however, there are more Latinos living in Los
Angeles County (4.7 million) than in any state except California and Texas.

In six states, growth in the Hispanic population accounted for all of those states’ population
growth; if the Hispanic population had not grown, those states would not have grown. They
included Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. In
Michigan, the state population declined over the decade but the Hispanic population grew.

Looking at the Latino population by region, the West and South are home to the most
Hispanics, while growth has been most rapid in the South and Midwest. In 2010, 20.6 million
Hispanics lived in the West, 18.2 million lived in the South, 7 million lived in the Northeast
and 4.7 million lived in the Midwest.
