¡Bienvenidos Líderes!on behalf of the national Council of la raza’s Board and staff, welcome to the 2008 Líderes Summit and nClr Annual Conference! Welcome also to beautifulSanDiego,acitywithLatinflare,richhistory,and world-class attractions. We have put together an exciting and challenging program for you and believe you will truly enjoy this experience.

As nClr celebrates 40 dedicated years of promoting Hispanic civil rights throughout America, we watch our nation approach a major political and social turning point. We have witnessed a stunning development in the immigration debate as hate groups and extremists have commanded an

undeserved spotlight in the media. With false statistics and dehumanizing speech, these people disparage not just immigrants, but all latinos. However, with the launch of our campaign and website, WeCanStopTheHate.org, we have challenged the cable television networks that support these vigilantes to restore integrity to the newsroom and our community.

As we promote this campaign, our gaze is turned to 2008’s momentous election. The presidential campaigns have already broken historic ground, and we all have an opportunity to become a part of that history. The decisions we make when we march to the voting booths in november demonstrate the power of our opinions – we truly have the ability to steer this great nation.

In recognition of your passion and ability as youth, we look to you to help us lead this movement. our population is young – nearly half of all latinos in the u.S. are under 25 years old – so you are the leaders of our community. In fact, many of you have already taken it upon yourselves to address our issues, empower each other, and bring about social justice. We commend you on these efforts and encourage you to make the most of this Summit experience.

Ask yourself, “What do I want to gain from this Conference? What issues do I want to learn about?” But most importantly, ask yourself how you will use these Conference resources to inspire change. We gather during a unique moment in history – a turbulent time that also shows tremendous promise. on the brink of major change for our country, we have before us a window of opportunity to push forward with greater strength and effectiveness.

Thank you for coming and for sharing this program with us. ¡Adelante!

Janet Murguía President and Ceo
