A new,
talented breed The Club Leaders of the Future of Dallas led to some lively, profound discussions
P
assion, speaking perfect Spanish and being completely bicultural and bilingual are some of the traits that separate young Latino professionals from other groups, agreed a group of young Hispanics. This happened during the Club Leaders of the Future event, held at the Nobu Dallas Restaurant, located at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel in downtown Dallas. Southwest Airlines and Frost Bank, together with Latino Leaders Magazine, produced the dinner. Moderated by Yol-itzma Aguirre, National Events Director of Latino Leaders, the dinner discussion centered on what Latino identity means. Club members like Mateo Pérez, of Alix Partners, an economic advisor and investigator, says that Hispanic culture, and this includes classical Latino culture culled from novelists and philosophers and not necessarily from populist customs, helps fuel genuine culture and success for young Latinos. “It’s more like the abilities we have. Our Latino heritage helps us because we are prone to speak Spanish fluently. Mexico is always going to be there,” Pérez says.
