leaders; trendsetters with the highest of standards, making things happen and
helping to define the U.S. Latino experience. They are innovative, courageous,

itself. They represent some of the very best thinkers in the development and
implementation of solutions that have positively impacted everyone from the
individual Latino to the largest organizations in their communities.

who are making unique and lasting contributions to the Latino experience in the

DTM will also recognize select Hispanic students who are working towards
their PhD's. Each will be presented with a $3,000 college scholarship. "We
