For Immediate Release

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /EWORLDWIRE/Aug. 17, 2010 --- Latina business owner Patricia Gracia is the ideal professional to keynote any number of public forums, and in particular, a gathering of powerful women in business at an event hosted by the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) of Los Angeles and sponsored by Wells Fargo. She was invited to lead a Women of Influence discussion panel offering insight on how to manage crisis, make tough decisions and stay on top at the Gene Autry Museum in Los Angeles.

Attendees at the June 23 meeting ranged from those whose interests are tied to a desire to learn how other female business owners grew their business, to other small business owners who wished to gain specific strategies to apply to their own business, in a difficult economic environment.

A recognized figure in the Hispanic community, Gracia and her firm have been widely honored by industry, local and national organizations, for her company's growth, personal achievements, activity for clients and dedication to the community, with multiple awards. She attributes her success to those who work with and support her, and points out their contributions to her business' progress. A sharp professional who has overcome the toughest challenges and build strategic alliances, she represents the perfect complement of innovation and strength.

"Among the three women of real influence selected to lead this public forum of powerful and successful women, I am honored to represent the Latina community," stated Gracia.

Gracia was joined by accomplished business leaders:

Kay Matthews
Vice Chair/Managing Partner, Ernst & Young

Caroline Nahas
Managing Director, Korn Ferry International

Lisa Stevens
Regional President, Wells Fargo

When asked what are the rules for some of the toughest challenges you have faced as a business owner? Gracia stated, "There's nothing more valuable than good advice from women who have been there and back only to be at the top of their game."
