Latina Equal Payday is today. Latinas are still miles behind the rest of the work force when it comes to equal pay. It has not improved in any significant way since the numbers have been reported. This year, the date is much later (it was October 21 last year) and almost did not happen this year. We continue to work to change this.

Wow, I made the list of nominees. Charlotte has been very good to me since I expanded my practice to North Carolina and it is an honor just to be nominated!

Today, we introduce you to a very special group of Charlotte residents — the nominees for the third-annual Charlotte Ledger 40 Over 40 awards, presented by U.S. Bank. Our independent panel of 15 responsible under-40 judges are working hard to select the 40 winners, but we want to share *all* of the nominees for the awards to recognize all of the hard work going on to make Charlotte a better place.

Once the winners are selected, they will be recognized in a special edition of The Ledger, and we will honor them on April 28 at a fun 1980s-themed party, with food, drinks, music and some surprises. To learn more about the 40 Over 40 Awards and event, go to Ledger40Over40.com.
