<p>
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN</p>
<p>As the Founder and Chairman of the California Hispanic Professional Association<br />
(CHispPA) I am delighted to present this Sponsorship Packet to you and your company<br />
in hopes of establishing and cultivating a truly mutually benefiting partnership where we<br />
both create substantial WIN/WINs.</p>
<p>The California Hispanic Professional Association is one of the premier Latino<br />
professional organizations in the Bay Area and the most comprehensive in terms of<br />
its membership as it is an all-inclusive organization. Membership is open to anyone<br />
regardless of their professional or ethnic background. Our members include engineers,<br />
attorneys, teachers, entrepreneurs, accountants and so on. We believe that it’s this type<br />
of membership that will allow you and your company the opportunity to reach the highest<br />
number of Latino professionals in the Bay Area and throughout California. One of the<br />
benefits that has been established in putting together our extensive membership network<br />
of over 800 (mostly) Latinos professionals is that company can deliver the message<br />
that it is interested in partnering with and investing in the Latino community. As you<br />
may already be aware that the Latino market is by far the fastest growing in the U.S. as<br />
well as in the Bay Area and CHispPA is in a very strong position to assist with market<br />
penetration.</p>
<p>The following pages include a comprehensive sponsorship packet which provides<br />
an overview to many of progressive and exciting programs and events that CHispPA<br />
produces and aims produce throughout each year. You will read about our progressive<br />
Mentoring programs designed to reach and assist 1) under represented high school<br />
students, 2) college sophomores and juniors and 3) junior professionals so that each<br />
group has the right type of coaching, role modeling and stimulus needed to successfully<br />
navigate each one of their development phases. You will also read about our<br />
Scholarship programs designed to provide crucial financial support the first two groups<br />
in the mentoring program 1) under represented high school students and 2) college<br />
sophomores and juniors. It is through these scholarships that these students will be able<br />
to realize their dreams of achieving a degree from an institution of higher education. In<br />
addition, we also sponsor numerous Professional Networking and Business Forums<br />
where our members as well as other professionals can come together and listen to key<br />
note speakers and panel discussions on a variety of timely and relevant topics as well<br />
as network to establish and develop long-lasting professional and social relationships.<br />
Lastly we will describe our premiere event which promises to be the Latino Professional<br />
Networking Event of the Year – “LATINS CONNECT 2011”.</p>
<p>We look forward to cultivating a truly mutually benefiting partnership with your company<br />
where we provide you with the most substantial ROI opportunities and where we<br />
are able to implement our exciting and progressive programs through your support.</p>
