August 2024 Hispanic Initiative Meeting – Presentations

Brothers,

I’m a little late in getting this out … it’s been a busy week (again). Attached is a composite of the presentations planned for the Hispanic Initiative meeting. Thanks to Freddy & his presentation, I used this to add some of the missing info. Slides are in both English & Spanish but I’ll probably separate into English & Spanish versions.

Anyways, Mike, Jake, & John … I took some notes on your presentations but I was not able to capture the key points in your talks. For example, Mike you talked about 5 key priorities for the Diocese but I only capture Membership, Charity, Safe Environment, & our Hispanic community (Initiative). Jake I have similar notes for your presentation, What the DDC is (conduit from Order to members, Platform for Diocesan pgms & communications), DDC programs, and next meeting. John pretty much the same … discussion on change, need (& incentive) for bilingual FAs & your history with the Bob Straus tourney. Please let me know what information you’d like to capture so I can add your information slides & we’ll get these to Jorge. Thanks!

FYI … looking at the Sign-up sheets, we had 2 Diocesan Deputies, 4 District Deputies, 3 members from our Insurance team, plus 36 other members representing 13 councils including 1 council from Ft Worth. Thanks to all of you for helping promote & support this event! Any feedback on how to make our next sessions better will be greatly appreciated.

Vivat Jesus!
Nick
