There’s no better way to learn than by doing. This required that we move away from our comfort zones and leap into the unknown, the undiscovered. To dare to take risks. Risks that not only suggest the potential for failure, but also the potential for success and greatness. It represents infinite possibilities to do anything you want.
If you are someone who fears the unknown, wants to learn how to take that leap of faith, or wants to feel inspired by our professionals’ leaders, please join the Chicago Chapter of the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting (ALPFA) at our 3rd Annual Leadership Summit. We will have Motivational Speaker Dan Gutierrez - Radio talk show host of Voice of America Business and Panelists that include Executives from our Corporate Sponsors.

HOSTED BY THE HISPANIC AMERICAN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
From the Barrio to the Board Room tells the story of Robert Renteria’s rise from poverty. At the age of three, he was abandoned by his father, a heroin-addicted alcoholic who later died in a halfway house on skid row. Renteria, who once slept in a dresser drawer as a child, had a near-fatal accident at age six, and spent three years of recovery in a school for handicapped and physically disabled children. As a misguided youth, he ran with teenagers who were involved in various gangs. He sold and used various drugs, and was shot at and even stabbed. After serving his country in the U.S. Army for over seven years, Renteria later battled racial discrimination in the corporate workplace.
Today, he is co-founder and executive vice president of WashPro USA, a successful distribution company in Westchester, IL, that helps individuals establish and operate profitable coin laundry businesses. Although his book is just being published, the word has already spread. He has become a sought-after speaker in the community and has been profiled in major media, including local television, La Raza, Chicago’s leading Hispanic newspaper, The Beacon News of Aurora, and will be featured in the upcoming issue of Hispanic Executive Quarterly.

IRS TO HOLD WORKSHOPS FOR SMALL AND MID-SIZED TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS
WASHINGTON - The Internal Revenue Service will hold a series of three one-day workshops this fall for small and mid-sized tax-exempt organizations in Chicago, Detroit, and Memphis. The workshops will cover information and procedures to help tax-exempt organizations comply with their tax obligations and maintain their tax-exempt status. The workshops are designed for board members, officers, volunteers and staff of small and mid-sized tax-exempt organizations and the practitioners and stakeholders who work with them.
IRS revenue agents will lead the workshops, which will provide an overview of the “nuts and bolts” of tax compliance for exempt organizations. Workshop topics include an in-depth discussion of activities that can jeopardize 501(c)(3) status, unrelated business income and gaming, and employment issues for tax-exempt organizations. Particular emphasis is given to a discussion and a walkthrough of the revised Form 990 and Form 990-EZ information returns.
The workshops will be held on the following dates and locations:
o
Chicago: Oct. 21, 22, and 23, 2008

Express your appreciation in a language everyone understands: Mrs. Fields® fresh-baked cookies, brownies, and treats.
It was all about taking control of her life. So Debbi Fields, a young mother with no business experience, opened her first cookie store in Palo Alto, California in 1977. They told her she was crazy. No business could survive just selling cookies. Humble beginnings launched Mrs. Fields® into a worldwide celebrity and made her company the premier chain of cookie and baked goods stores.
Now, in a world of technology and with a simple click of a button, you can express your appreciation to someone and have a special gift delivered to their footstep. Thank some one today, click on the image!
