Well, that is because they are out in the limelight, visibly seen by millions. \u00a0I was &#8220;leadership struck&#8221; at NHLI. \u00a0The combined talent of women present at this conference could change the world for the better in a matter of minutes! Check for yourself the <a title=\"NHLI Preenter Bios\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhli.org\/2010conference\/NHLI%202010conf_bios.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">roster of women speakers <\/a>and the <a title=\"NHLI Conference Agenda 2010\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhli.org\/2010conference\/NHLI%202010conf_schedule.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">agenda<\/a> at the NHLI website just so this blog post doesn&#8217;t become a book. Seriously, the<a title=\"Mujer Recipients NHLI\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhli.org\/mujer_recipients.htm\" target=\"_blank\"> bio&#8217;s of just these women<\/a> who were honorees this year are worthy of a book in itself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maria Elena Tora\u00f1o, Co-Founder of NHLI and Chair Emeritus and Former Presidential Appointee to the U.S. Commission of Public Diplomacy<\/li>\n<li>Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinan, <em>Legislative Award Recipient<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Janet Murguia, NCLR President and CEO, <em>National Mujer Award Recipient<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Remedios Diaz- Oliver, President, All American Containers Inc, <em>Regional Mujer Award Recipient<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Maria Elena Salinas, Journalist and News Anchor, Univision, <em>Chair&#8217;s Award Recipient<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other distinctions and awards were given to Ambassador Carmen Lomellin, Alumna of the Year; \u00a0Rising Stars highlighting Latinas under 30, Gaby Pacheco, Immigration activist and student leader, Maria Isa Perez, Hip-Hop artist and social activist.<\/p>\n<p>But it wasn&#8217;t just these few women that got me &#8220;leadership struck.&#8221; It was the young women who are reaching for the stars, learning, educating themselves for a brighter future and wishing to be change agents. It was the past alumni who consistently spoke of the real\u00a0<em>hermanas (sisterhood)<\/em> and bond they formed by taking the <a title=\"NHLI Executive Leadership Program\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhli.org\/elp.htm\">Executive Leadership Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It was the openness and sharing of wisdom from lessons learned in the corporate and global world, hearing the trials and tribulations they faced, and yet in spite of obstacles, they persisted. This is true inspiration and I sincerely wish to take this Leadership Program and hopefully lead the way with my own message.<\/p>\n<p>I have some more video clips from the conference which I will be sharing soon. I wish I could have captured it all but at least the experience is embedded in my heart. \u00a0Because of this conference, my heart was sparked in a big way, just as the other conferences I have attended recently (<a title=\"Blogher\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blogher.com\">Blogher<\/a> and <a title=\"Blogalicious \" href=\"https:\/\/www.blogaliciousweekend.com\" target=\"_blank\">Blogalicious<\/a>) have lit different aspects of myself.
