“I asked him why he had stopped me,’’ recalled Shee, a lifelong U.S. citizen of Spanish and Chinese descent who lives in Litchfield Park, Arizona. “He said I looked suspicious.”

After reviewing Shee’s driver’s license and other documents, the officer let him go without a citation.

“I was burned up, mad,’’ he said. “There was no reason to stop me.”

Governor Raskin of the Federal Reserve Visits Latino Business Chamber of Greater Los Angeles

LBC-GLA Members Meeting with Federal Reserve Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin (far left) on 4/11/12

 Federal Reserve Governor Sara Bloom Raskin visited the Latino Business Chamber of Greater Los Angeles on April 11, 2012.  This very rare occurrence is based upon the great level of advocacy in Washington D.C., that this chamber conducts on national issues impacting small businesses and minority communities in Washington D.C.  This chamber plays a lead role on lending issues and the absence of lending, supplier diversity, mergers and acquisitions, and the overall review and analysis of banking practices by the laws and regulations that provide oversight to most of the major and mid-sized banks in the nation.

Several LBC-GLA Board members and Policy Committee members hosted a small group of guests from affiliate and partner groups including representatives from the Association of Latino Landscape Professionals, Black Economic Council, and the Nat’l Asian American Coalition.  Three LBC-GLA minority-owned banks provided additional expertise as well, including ProAmerica Bank, Cathay Bank, and Pan- American Bank.

It is rare that Governors of the Federal Reserve outreach to small business owners on their particular concerns and economic views.  Chairman and CEO of the Latino Business Chamber of Greater Los Angeles, Jorge Corralejo, stated that he was “greatly moved by Governor Raskins’ great interest in the sentiments of small business owners and their struggles to survive and expand.”  Jorge added that “the points discussed in today’s meeting could impact the broad implications of Federal Reserve regulations and could ultimately contribute meaningfully to the overall economic recovery.”

For more information on the Latino Business Chamber of Greater Los Angeles visit: www.LBCGLA.org
