Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Jose Marquez, and his team of leaders from LISTA.  Just this month in NYC, they had a great conference and a superb gala.

Who are you and what do you do?

I am Jose Marquez President, founder and CEO for Latinos in Information Sciences and Technology Association

In a techno economic society such as ours the currency is data, our community need to understand science, math and Technology in order to level the playing field and prosper in the US.

Why LISTA?

LISTA is an organization of thought leaders everything from engineering software to web development LISTA has members in every field. As an organization LISTA gives back our members talent to educate our community and give them the tools to empower themselves to conquer the digital divide.
