• Former Managing Editor Libby Juliá Vázquez has been named Executive Vice President of Blogger relations. In this role, Libby will remain the managing editor of the blog while taking on more responsibility in the area of public relations and marketing; specifically concentrating on building relationships and participating in speaking engagements in Chicago on behalf of Being Latino.

• Staff Writer Ulises Silva has been named Copy Editor. In this role, he will continue as a writer while taking on many of the editing/formatting functions of the blog.

• General Coordinator Tatiana Perez has been named Philanthropy Director. She will assume responsibility for the coordination of all of Being Latino’s philanthropic efforts.
