NEW YORK, May 01, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Senior executives from the nation's top corporations shared their
perspectives with a cross-section of U.S. Latino leadership convening
in New York for the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility's
(HACR) 16th Annual Symposium, April 28-29, 2008.

The Power of Hispanic Inclusion was the topic of discussion during

"HACR is pleased to have brought together the senior officers of
companies that demonstrate the value of Hispanic inclusion in all
aspects of their operations," said HACR President & CEO Carlos F.
Orta. "These particular executives recognize and appreciate the
economic and social contributions of the Hispanic Consumer Market and
the Latino community to their companies' growth."

"As a leading media and entertainment company, Time Warner helps
tell the world's stories to a global audience. Therefore, cultivating
diversity - of our content, products, and people - is a business
imperative," said Time Warner's Chairman, Richard D. Parsons.

"Our efforts in reaching out and serving the communities where we
live and work is an important part of our mission. We are committed to
improving the health and well-being of more than 25 million customers
-- of whom more than 2 million are Hispanic," said Ken Burdick,
president and CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

"Diversity cannot be a program. It must be a state of mind ...
that helps us better serve our customers and understand the
marketplace," commented Ed Rust, Jr. chairman and CEO of State Farm.

"Our commitment and support of diversity is an integral part of
our business priorities because we know that a diverse workplace and
supplier base contributes to our success, strengthens us as a company
and promotes economic development. And, that benefits everyone,"
explained Peter Swinburn, President & CEO of the Coors Brewing
Company.

"As the leading Spanish-language media company in the U.S., today
more than 80 percent of our workforce is Hispanic," added Joe Uva, CEO
of Univision Communication Inc. "Univision is in an enviable place in
that we can attract and retain the best in our industry, allowing us
to continue to deliver for our audiences, partners and community."

"The purpose of the CEO Roundtable discussions is to bring
together the top executive officers of our nation's most respected
corporate citizens in order to gain insights on matters of mutual
interest," stated Manuel Mirabal, Chairman of the HACR Board of
Directors. "The opportunity to have our stakeholders learn about the
best diversity practices of Fortune companies allows HACR to provide
its Corporate Partners a higher level of support and assistance in the
areas of corporate responsibility."
