On August 7, 2008, Accenture teamed with the Cincinnati chapter of the National Society for Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) to host a panel discussion focused on “Developing a High Performance Mindset." Six Hispanic executives participated on the panel, including Accenture’s Jay Zerbe, Utility Industry Managing Director. Jay shared his thoughts about building and maintaining relationships. Another panelist, Tillie Hidalgo Lima, talked about goal setting.
Tillie is the President/CEO of Best Upon Request, a company that Accenture played a key role in helping to “put on the map.” Best Upon Request is a privately held minority-owned and woman-owned national concierge services firm headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Nellie Borrero, director – Global Inclusion & Diversity at Accenture, recently took some time to interview Tillie. Tillie offered advice for professional women and spoke about how networking, goal setting and stepping out of one’s comfort zone can be critical to one’s success.

"Conga Blues" - book signing and photography exhibit featuring Victor Velez, poet, photographer and musician. Friday, August 1, from 6 - 9 pm. Refreshments will be served.
In Victor's own words: "Conga Blues," is a collection of poetry that explores the search for cultural, personal and social identity. Migrating to the United States and growing up in New York City, I often questioned my cultural identity as a Latino. I struggled to find my own personal identity, my purpose in life. My social identity was intertwined with the social uproars of the late 60's and the early 70's. "Conga Blues," is a collection of this search.
Come early and stay late, at 9 pm we will put on the music and start dancing. Bring your dance shoes, we will help you get started! Our Duveneck Rueda Team, featuring "Conga Blues" cover illustrator, Tony Pabon, will do a demonstration of this unique and exciting Cuban dance.
