The Corporate Alert — an electronic communication tool — has become one of the most effective and timely resources used by HACR to update and inform its constituents on issues relevant to corporate America and the Hispanic community. The Corporate Alert is distributed by e-mail to Fortune 1,000 corporate executives, key federal and congressional officials, academia — as well as local, regional and national Latino community-based organizations and their leadership.
“We wish to thank Altria for its continued leadership in supporting and advancing HACR’s goal to increase Hispanic inclusion throughout corporate America,” said HACR president and CEO Carlos F. Orta. “Their support for the Corporate Alert will allow HACR to continue its timely dissemination of news and initiatives on issues important to our constituents and supporters — including HACR Corporate and Coalition members.”
“At Altria and its operating companies, we look at measuring diversity as a continuous progress in our efforts to increase diversity, fairness and partnership in our workforce, our supply base and in our community programs. For more than 13 years, we have shared that commitment with the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility which is why we are proud to be a sponsor of the Corporate Alert,” said A. Shuanise Washington, Vice President Government Affairs Policy & Outreach, Altria Corporate Services, Inc.
