Nuestro gerente de comunicaciones, Peter Majerle, comparte sus ideas acerca de cómo recibir a un nuevo colega en su primer día en su columna mensual en el periódico La Voz Latina de Minnesota.
It's been a full year since I started at (LEDC MN) Latino Economic Development Center and I remember my first day well: I met the team, saw the facilities, got set up with my equipment and we had a beautiful lunch with the entire staff. It was a great way to start my journey. Today, I reflect on a first day at a different place in which my onboarding wasn't quite so welcoming, and how that experience shaped how I aim to receive new colleagues on their first days. The article originally appeared in La Voz Latina newspaper and is only available in Spanish.

Not only do we build up our community through technical assistance and access to capital -- we also strive to have our voices heard. We recently hosted Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Karl Procaccini, who came to LEDC to share his experience and passion for justice while listening and learning from our community. Thank you, Justice Procaccini, for your interest and compassion.
