The 2009 List. Latina Style Magazine’s Latina Style 50 report was first launched in 1998 as a special report recognizing corporate America's diversity initiatives and commitment to advancing the careers of professional Hispanic women. The report has become the most prestigious analysis of corporate America's efforts for promoting diversity and providing career advancement opportunities for Hispanic women. Acknowledging the need to shed light on the issue, Anna Maria Arias, Founder of LATINA Style Magazine, began her quest to explore deeper into the business world and bring forth powerful and useful information on the increasing importance of recruiting professional Latinas. With the assistance of the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and national Hispanic organizations, a comprehensive survey was created and sent to the Fortune 1000 companies. The reports highlight each company's leadership programs, employee benefits and Latina representation in senior positions. Over 800 companies are evaluated. The 10th consecutive LATINA Style 50 Report was published in August of 2007.
