Paul Rodriguez & Christy Haubegger @ Latino Motivational Speakers Forum.

Paul Rodriguez, the internationally-known comedian/actor, and Christy Haubegger, founder of Latina magazine, will join other prominent Latinos at Daniel Gutierrez & Associates’ Imagine 2002), the first-ever motivational speakers forum targeting U.S. Latinos. Mr. Rodriguez and Ms. Haubegger join Moctesuma Esparza, noted producer of such movies as “Selena;” Pablo Schneider Munoz, investment banker and former senior executive with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and; Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch. Imagine 2002 will be presented on March 21, 2002, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

“The Latino community is blessed with incredibly remarkable leaders, so it is truly an honor to be able to assemble such a distinguished group of individuals, and give them the opportunity to present their perspectives and thoughts on success,” remarked Daniel Gutierrez, president of Daniel Gutierrez & Associates, himself a motivational speaker and presenter at Imagine 2002.

“We’ve heard a lot about how U.S. Latinos are now the largest ethnic minority in the country, but we should also recognize the unprecedented growth in the number of Latino entrepreneurs and corporate executives who are poised for even greater success. This is why we have created Imagine 2002(TM): to facilitate the sharing of ideas between well-established, inspirational Latino leaders and those Latinos eager to excel and on the threshold of attaining true excellence.”

Imagine 2002 will focus on Latino self-empowerment. It is designed to help Los Angeles’ Latino entrepreneurs, corporate executives, managers, and civic leaders realize their full leadership potential by facilitating their interaction with key, nationally-recognized Latino leaders. Each featured speaker will offer his or her personal perspective on success, as well as some of his or her own “life’s lessons.” Instead of offering blueprints or “how-to” plans for success, the forum’s speakers will encourage forum participants to cultivate their own strengths and plan for their own success stories.
