Also, Hispanicize is accepting nominations for the Positive Impact Award.  Three of us in this list were awardees over the past few years.  The award is for Latinos making a difference in their communities.  Not super stars or rocks stars, common folks like you and I who are making a difference.  If you know anyone, NOMINATE them.  It is quite an honor to be selected and get an award at Hispanicize 2016.
