Latino Conference Spotlights Going Green

 WASHINGTON -- Graciela Tiscareño-Sato, author of "Latinnovating: Green American Jobs and the Latinos Creating Them," was honored at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s Public Policy Conference in Washington D.C. last week. At the closing plenary session titled “Green Economy, Leading the Way”, Tiscareno-Sato’s upcoming book was recognized during the Latino Innovation awards ceremony. Also recognized at the event were five of the Latino innovators and entrepreneurs featured in her upcoming book and eleven other thought leaders from around the nation.

“It was a tremendous honor to be recognized at a conference in which 22 members of Congress, six Cabinet secretaries and our First Lady Michelle Obama all participated,” Tiscareño-Sato. “I’ve written this book to provide our young people and job seekers information and inspiration they can immediately use to position themselves for the green economy. I’ve chosen innovation leaders, men and women who are Latinos, to demonstrate to mainstream America that educated Latinos are applying their work ethic, talent, innovative thinking, culturally-engrained environmental advocacy, and creative spirit to improve America for all Americans.”

"Latinnovating" was written for students and professionals seeking to make wise choices about their future career paths as our American economy undergoes massive transformation. Readers will immediately benefit from the content of the book which includes:

• Success stories of sustainable businesses in ten different sectors of the economy including our energy grid, industrial lighting systems, commercial printing, packaging, communications, green building techniques, venture capital and much more. You will gain insight into ten different industries in one book.
• Specific educational paths taken by the featured entrepreneurs, leaders, engineers, and business owners 
• Insider perspectives and resource recommendations that the reader can act on immediately


“I’m determined to provide young people with successful role models that most of them do not have. I want to show them real examples of how the path to success in our new economy, now more than ever, leads through higher education. "Latinnovating"’s storytellers are Latinos; the opportunities in sustainability they’re creating are for everyone,” Tiscareño-Sato states.

LATINA Style Magazine staff nominated Graciela’s work for recognition for “having had the foresight to write this very important book. She’s clearly a thought leader whose passion to showcase opportunities in the green economy comes through in this intensive two-year project.”

The “Latinnovators” featured in the book, that were recognized by CHCI, are: 
•    Rosamaria Caballero-Stafford, co-founder of Green Irene in New York
•    Dennis Salazar, President and co-founder of Salazar Packaging, Inc in Chicago
•    Sandra Artalejo, Chief designer and owner of Sola Studios in Dallas 
•    Robert Zardeneta, Executive Director of LA CAUSA in East Los Angeles
•    Carmen Rad, President and co-founder of CR&A Custom, Inc
