The emcee, Nicole Chavez, News10, of the luncheon will introduce our keynote speaker. Northern California native, Nicole left Sonoma County to attend Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. There, she got behind the microphone for the first time at KXLU radio. From the "Biggest Little City" to the "Capital City," Nicole Chavez joined News10 as a reporter from KTVN in Reno, Nevada. Nicole's career's taken her from the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles to the apple orchards of Central Washington state to the Nevada desert. Moving to Sacramento, though, finally feels like home.

In conclusion of the luncheon, a Latina entrepreneur from the Sacramento area will be recognized as the 2007 “Latina Entrepreneur of the Year” award.

Registration fee includes seminars, high power networking opportunities in the exhibit area, breakfast, lunch, commemorative gift bag and a two-year subscription to LATINA Style Magazine, for a total of $30!
