Rafael Fantauzzi, Coors Hispanic Corporate Relations director, said the Coors Lideres Campaign was launched in June 2006 with the Coors Lideres Print Advertising Campaign, a 12-ad print series published nationally to highlight key Hispanic leaders who advance the community in several professional areas. The second phase consisted of the Coors Lideres Training Workshop Program, a unique leadership development program based on a personalized assessment tool developed by The Gallup Organization that was offered in five key market cities and trained approximately 500 individuals. In conjunction with Coors, Comunicad assisted in the overall program planning and coordination for the Training Workshop Program, as well as provided media outreach.
"It is an honor to have received these awards on behalf of the Coors Lideres Campaign. This program exemplifies Comunicad's belief that corporations can be successful in bringing relevant experiences that impact the Latino community at-large. The LACP distinction reinforces this belief," said Gloria Rodriguez, President and CEO, Comunicad.
