Event offers business advice for women
BY ELENA FERRARIN
Reflejos Staff Writer
This year’s LATINA Style magazine’s Business Series was held in Chicago and attracted both established businesswomen and budding entrepreneurs.
The event, held June 17, featured talks on securing startup capital, developing marketing strategies and maximizing technology. California-based author and public speaker Maria Marin gave the keynote address on successful negotiating skills.
Panelists also discussed how women can establish businesses in male-dominated arenas such as construction.
“People, this is still a man’s world. It’s not easy and it takes a lot of work,” said Aurora Venegas, president of Azteca Supply Company of Chicago, a supplier of chemical, building and concrete products.
The Small Business Administration offers startup loans ranging from a few thousand dollars up to $1 million for an individual business, said Illinois District Office Director Judith Roussel.
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley gave the event’s welcoming remarks, saying that Latina business owners are role models for entrepreneurship.
“It doesn’t matter where you’re from. You still can learn how to create a business,” Daley said.

La Serie de Negocios de la revista LATINA Style de este año se llevó a cabo en Chicago y atrajo a mujeres de negocios establecidas y a empresarias florecientes.
El evento, realizado el 17 de junio, presentó conferencias sobre cómo asegurar el capital para comenzar, desarrollo de estrategias de mercado y cómo maximizar la tecnología. María Marín, autora y oradora de California, dio el discurso principal sobre las habilidades exitosas de negociación.
Los panelistas también discutieron cómo las mujeres pueden establecer negocios en arenas dominadas por los hombres, tales como la construcción.
“Gente, este sigue siendo un mundo de hombres. No es fácil, y se necesita mucho trabajo”, dijo Aurora Venegas, presidenta de Azteca Supply Company de Chicago, la cual suple productos químicos, de construcción y de concreto.
La Administración de Pequeños Negocios ofrece préstamos para comenzar, los cuales van de unos cuantos dólares hasta un millón para un negocio individual, dijo la Directora de la Oficina del Distrito de Illinois, Judith Roussel.
El Alcalde de Chicago Richard M. Daley dio la bienvenida al evento diciendo que las latinas que son dueñas de negocios son modelos a seguir para los empresarios.
“No importa de dónde se es. Siempre se puede aprender cómo crear un negocio”, dijo Daley.
