The Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR), recognized 35 young professionals at the 2016 HACR Young Hispanic Corporate Achievers™ (YHCA) program in Washington, D.C. hosted once again by Altria Group. The four day program included a special awards ceremony and celebratory 10th Anniversary reception at the Mandarin Oriental, Washington, D.C.
“We are very proud of our 10th class of the HACR YHCAers,” HACR President & CEO Cid Wilson said, “This program highlights the future leaders of Corporate America, and we are fortunate to have the commitment and support of Altria to aid in their development.”
The annual program recognizes Hispanics leaders at Fortune 500 and/or HACR Corporate Member companies. Once selected, the young executives participated in an intensive multi-day leadership development, education, and training program.
“Over the last decade, Altria has had the honor of sponsoring the Young Hispanic Corporate Achievers™ program and the privilege of meeting hundreds of inspiring young leaders, said Pam Lieberman, director of Quality Compliance Management for Altria Client Services. “We are continually inspired by HACR’s examples of diversity and excellence.”
