FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

April 2010

Dear NALIP members and friends:

Like all creative endeavors, NALIP began as a dream. A dozen years ago, it started as the vision of a disparate group of professionals who shared a common passion for Latino representation and inclusion in the media landscape. The idea for NALIP came from a broad cross-section of our community: media activists like Lillian Jiménez and Cynthia López, seasoned producers like Ray Telles, Bienvenida Matías and Evangeline Griego, industry feature producers like Moctesuma Esparza, voices from east coast, west coast, Texas and Miami. Together they forged the mission statement and organization that we know today. As another founding board member, CSRC director and UCLA professor Chon Noriega, wrote in our earliest materials: NALIP is the first national effort aimed at Latino production in thirty years, and it is the first to last more than one year, providing ongoing support for both grassroots and community-based media makers along with publicly funded and industry-based content creators.

On our 11th anniversary, NALIP has more than endured: we have flourished! We embrace a wide community of media artists – writers and producers, directors, performers and creative crew members – along with executives and funders who are equally committed to seeing rich multi-cultural and balanced representation everywhere you see media – in film and televison, online and in documentaries, plus throughout the executive seats of power.

Four NALIP Board members who have been passionate and exceptional creators of the dream that is NALIP 2010 are retiring from our board this spring, after long terms of service. They have inspired the mission, challenged and educated the staff, emboldened the community, and carried our work forward in critical ways. Without them, NALIP would not be what we are today.
