    Memorable Quotes"You've got to pay attention to the growth of the Hispanic business community and the economic buying power that's there, the contribution to our businesses, to our society, and leadership. There's a lot of growth that's coming from the Hispanic community.""Latina women are starting businesses six times faster than any other group. We need to make sure that our Latinas, who are taking care of families, communities, and businesses, have the tools necessary to succeed because it helps us all as a society.""When we think about the Latino and Hispanic community, it's not about detracting from society; it's an add-on. Having the Hispanic and Latino community here is an 'and plus' to the rest of society, not a minimization in any effort.”Resources Mentioned
