Washington, DC - MillerCoors tapped Betty and Roberto Cordova, known as “Team Cordova" to participate in its Líderes program, where they will be offering important leadership advice to the next generation of leaders. As part of this year’s program, Líderes searched for leaders within Hispanic organizations who could share their experiences and advice about leadership on a series of web-based podcasts. The podcasts are part of the Líderes goal of fostering leadership at all levels within the Hispanic community and honoring those who have already established themselves as stand-out leaders.

“We are honored that Betty and Roberto Cordova were selected to be a part of this year’s Líderes podcast series,” said LULAC National President Rosa Rosales. “Through their participation, we hope to provide useful professional development tools for future leaders and be able to stand out for our commitment to the Hispanic community.”

Betty and Roberto Cordova, known as “Team Cordova,” are husband and wife educators based in Greeley, Colorado, who are actively involved in local organizations, including their local League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) chapter. In a time when the country has a renewed commitment to community service, these veteran volunteers will share tips on how volunteering can help you hone your leadership skills while still making a difference in your community.

The Líderes podcasts series will offer leadership insight to a wide audience through topics focused on providing tips and advice on various aspects of leadership. The podcast themes, which include job interview tips and how to start your own business, also take into account today’s economic landscape. Past Líderes, including Betty and Roberto Cordova, will share their experiences and encourage community engagement and business success for up and coming leaders.

“Being able to participate in a program that furthers leadership within the Hispanic community is a great privilege, especially when it will help young Latinos become tomorrow’s leaders,” said Betty and Roberto Cordova as one of the 2008 Líderes featured in this year’s podcast series. “Through this innovative initiative we’re given the chance to guide future generations thereby benefiting the Hispanic community as a whole.”
