California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce 31st Annual State Convention Panelist Tony Gracia A Star in SuperEstrellas Workshop

Successful Small Business Owner Shared Secrets to Making It to the Top

SANTA CLARITA, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/Aug 18, 2010 --- To have been selected as a panelist by the Small Business Development Center from over hundreds of thousands of Hispanic businesses set Power Media Group CFO Tony Gracia to thinking about how he was chosen. He didn't have to think hard or very long, since hard work is an every day practice in his offices.

What Gracia did need to think about was the message he was going to communicate as he took up position on the panel on August 17.

Filled with other Hispanic business owners - some of whom the Power Media Group CFO knew personally, other corporate business leaders, community leaders, and government officials, Gracia was charged with addressing issues of relevance to the Hispanic business community. Gracia lead the Super Estrella Workshop with his peers during an afternoon session. From details about their businesses' early beginnings to contemporary activities they engage in to maintain and grow their business, the audience asked and received answers to their most pressing questions.

The panel was moderated by Ian Lorenzana of the Small Business Administration, Los Angeles District Office – Economic Development Division.

"To be asked to participate is a special honor," added Gracia. "It is an affirmation of the more recent notice our industry and the public at large has taken of our efforts and our business."

As the premier minority/ethnic business convention in California, The CHCC State Convention provides the public with a singular opportunity: to get up close and personal with business professionals whose activities set them apart in their communities.

Gracia and wife and President Patricia Gracia have received numerous awards, both on the local and national level with increasing frequency, acknowledging the growing firm's impact in the community in which their ad agency operates and the successes in creating awareness of their clients within Hispanic communities across California and beyond.
