TO BUSINESS, AND NATIONAL EDITORS:
New York Women's Chamber of Commerce Launches a Nationwide Business
Magazine
NEW YORK, March 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Ogilvy & Mather
continues to salute Women's History Month with the launch of
Empresaria, a refreshingly bold magazine poised to bring the best
resource guide to all women's chambers of commerce and affiliated
businesses nationwide. With exclusive interviews and features from
successful women entrepreneurs as well as world known icons such as
Carolina Herrera, this new publication will inspire its readers to
celebrate those already in business or inspire them to take the first
step in starting their own business. The event will be held on March
26th from 6-8pm at Ogilvy's global headquarters in New York City.
Empresaria is the first magazine of its kind geared towards the career
focused Latina woman entrepreneur and aims to be the most informative
source for those aspiring to achieve their professional goals.
Readers can expect to find in-depth articles with advice on
entrepreneurial issues to business and money management plus more.
Quenia Abreu, Founder, President and CEO New York Women's Chamber of
Commerce and now the founder of Empresaria, "Latinas are the new face
of business! They are one of the fastest growing business groups, yet
little has been done to support them, and recognize their economic
contribution to the nation. Empresaria Magazine was born out of the
need to give our Latina entrepreneurs a voice.a face and to bring them
valuable information. The Empresaria awards were created to recognize
and celebrate their business accomplishments."
"We are thrilled to support an organization with a focus on women
entrepreneurs," said Donna Pedro, Sr. Partner, Chief Diversity &
Inclusion Officer of Ogilvy & Mather." As an employee for a company
that believes we are a stronger organization when all of us succeed
with women in leadership playing an imperative role, I am excited
Ogilvy could take part in the introduction of Empresaria."
Empresaria Magazine will be published quarterly, four times a year
with 10,000 copies distributed free of charge to approved beauty
salons, Chambers of Commerce, business development organizations,
financing institutions, special events and by subscription. The
magazine will be published in Spanish with key articles translated
into English and will have a social media presence (web page, Twitter
and Facebook), in order to promote relevant conversations among
readers. Coming soon, www.empresariausa.com where it will house an
online version of the magazine.
Empresaria Magazine will also host two events throughout the year
which include the annual "Empresaria" awards ceremony where the most
highlighted Latina entrepreneur will be recognized for their
achievements and contributions in their respective fields. In
addition, there will be the "Empresaria" conference, to promote and
share key Latina entrepreneurship insights and trends of the industry.
