Oliver – CEO @ National Association of Hispanic Publications.

The National Association of Hispanic Publications, Inc. [NAHP] is starting 2006 with Thomas Oliver as its new Executive Director & CEO. NAHP Board President Lupita Colmenero made the announcement following Board action in Dallas this December.

Mr. Oliver has been Executive Director & CEO of the NAHP’s Foundation for over four years. During that period of time, Oliver has served as Interim Executive Director and Senior Development Advisor to the NAHP on different occasions.

“Over the past four years, the NAHP Foundation has grown from $100,000 annual revenue to over $900,000 in 2005,” said Eddie Escobedo, Foundation Board Chairman. “The NAHP means business and Tom’s appointment reflects his good business practices and development strength,” said Lupita Colmenero. She went on to say that the NAHP intends to lead strong advertising advocacy and growth over the next few years and “we are assembling the right team to make that happen for all Hispanic print media serving the Hispanic community in every corner of the country. The NAHP is the standard bearer of excellence in Hispanic publishing.”

“Growing real benefits to NAHP member publications and their communities by helping make research, information, news, publisher networking, peer to peer collaboration, staff training and advertising resources more available are the key challenges we have in hand. In addition, the NAHP will now hold large corporate entrants into Hispanic media accountable for outreach into the Hispanic community. We have a great array of member publications, amazing kinds of Hispanic talent, and a loyal cadre of committed publishers and their friends as the core dynamics to grow Hispanic print media and the communities they serve through the NAHP,” said Tom Oliver.
