Leader of the Year Named by Coors Brewing Company

As part of its Lideres program, Coors Brewing Company announced that Lillian Rodríguez López, president of the Hispanic Federation, has received the 2007 Coors Hispanic Leader of the Year Award. In addition, her non-profit organization, Hispanic Federation, has been named the 2007 Coors Hispanic Non-Profit Sponsor of the Year.

The Coors Líderes Program, launched in 2006, celebrates and supports leadership within the Hispanic community. The 2007 Coors Líderes calendar features 20 Hispanic leaders. To select the individuals, Coors asked Hispanic national and local non-profit partners and organizations to identify community leaders who represent the values of their organizations and the communities they serve. The public was invited to participate in selecting the Leader of the Year by casting their vote online through the Coors Lideres website, www.CoorsLideres.com.

In 2006, Rosa Navejar, president of the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, was the recipient of the Coors Hispanic Leader of the Year award.
