PADRES FORM HISPANIC COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
Community leaders selected to give Padres input on Hispanic community needs
The San Diego Padres announced they have selected a group of leaders from within the Hispanic community to serve on a newly formed Hispanic Community Leadership Council (HCLC). These leaders were selected for their expertise in corporate, civic, and education affairs in the San Diego-Tijuana region. They will provide the Padres feedback on how the team is doing in marketing to the Hispanic community, as well as how the Padres can provide meaningful support to Hispanic-focused organizations and causes.
We pride ourselves on being the Team of the Californias," said Alex Montoya, Padres Manager of Latino Relations, "and in providing affordable, family entertainment for families in Southern and Baja California. In order to do that the best we can, we sought out leaders who will give us invaluable feedback based on their expertise."
