Hispanic
Business Magazine to Host 15th Annual EOY(R) (Entrepreneur of
the Year) Awards Gala
Santa Barbara,
CA--(HISPANIC PR WIRE)--August 30, 2005--Hispanic Business(R)
magazine, a leading publication for and about affluent Hispanic
professionals and entrepreneurs, announces that its 15th Annual
EOY(R) (Entrepreneur of the Year) Awards Gala will be held November
10, 2005 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Cadillac is the
premier sponsor of this year’s event. The EOY(R) Awards
honor highly successful Hispanic entrepreneurs for their drive,
innovation, courage, and civic responsibility.
Awards will
be given in five categories: Infobusiness, Heavy Industry, Trade
Industry, Rising Star (for candidates under 35), and Latina Entrepreneur.
The winner from each category is eligible to receive the top honor
– the Hispanic Business Magazine EOY(R) (Entrepreneur of
the Year) Award. Last year’s winner was Robert Dominguez
Jr., CEO of Ambreco Inc., a general contracting firm which handles
all phases of military construction.
Candidates
are nominated by the readers of Hispanic Business magazine, from
which the finalists for each category are determined. The winners
are chosen by a panel of judges based upon financial performance,
management practices, employee development, and encouragement
of entrepreneurship. This year, for the first time, the University
of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business Greif
Center for Entrepreneurship will be judging the winners.
Daytime activities
of the EOY(R) event include roundtable discussions on capital
markets, with top executives at pension funds and private equity
funds participating, as well as legislators, CEOs, and entrepreneurs.
Special emphasis will be given to the emerging Middle Market of
Hispanic-owned companies and the challenges faced in gaining access
to capital.
During the
EOY(R) evening awards ceremony, Hispanic Business magazine will
also present its 3rd annual Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring
a select individual who has led a distinguished career displaying
superior achievements, leadership, innovation, vision, and civic
service. Marta Tienda, professor of Demographic Studies in the
Department of Sociology and Public Policy at Princeton University,
was the recipient of last year’s Lifetime Achievement Award
for her academic accomplishments in documenting the economic and
entrepreneurial evolution of the U.S. Hispanic population.
With 2005
marking a 15-year milestone for this event, the ceremony will
present a chronicle of the EOY Awards’ history
and evolution. Parallel to this retrospective, the progress and
strides made by U.S. Hispanics over the past 15 years in the realm
of business, economics, politics, and academics will also be examined.
