About the HACR Young Hispanic Corporate Achievers™
Now in its fifth year, the HACR Young Hispanic Corporate AchieversTM (HACR YHCA)
Program was created to recognize young executives in Corporate America who have
shown leadership qualities at their respective companies along with a proven commitment
to the Hispanic community. The annual program recognizes between 25-30 young
Hispanics at Fortune 500 and/or HACR corporate member companies who participate
in an intensive three-day leadership development, education and training conference.
The executives are recognized by their companies and by national Hispanic community
leaders who comprise HACR’s Board of Directors. Individually and collectively, they are
leading the way in establishing a new standard of excellence in Corporate America.
HACR understands that a company’s success will be increasingly assisted by their own
in-house Hispanic talent. The HACR YHCA program is instrumental in not only helping
companies identify their high potential leaders but equally as important in recognizing
those leaders at the national level, further elevating the power of Hispanic inclusion.
