Cafecito Caliente is proud to announce the Rising Star of the Year, Elena Herrera. The award is given to a young professional or business owner who has impacted the Hispanic Latino community and or the Mid-Michigan area. In Elena’s case, her reach will include the Detroit, Michigan area as well.
All of this wouldn’t be possible without the support of sponsors like Lake Trust Credit Union whom Cafecito has built a great relationship with many of their staff. Thank you for your Diamante Sponsorship.
The Lansing Lugnuts hosted the Inaugural Cafecito Awards in March 2023 and despite the venue change to accommodate the growing Awards program, the Lugnuts continue to be a Platinum Sponsor.
We also want to give thanks to Consumers Credit Union for their Gold Sponsorship, and we also have enjoyed our building our relationship with you. This program really doesn’t happen without your support.
Elena is the founder of Ledger Ally, and a recipient of a technical assistance contract with Motor City Match. As a lifelong resident of Lansing, Elena has a deep commitment to the community, balancing professional achievements with raising a blended family of four. She serves as co-chair of the Latino Business Conexion of Michigan (LBCM) and as secretary for the Ballet Maria Luz Folklorico dance group. Elena is passionate about supporting local businesses, particularly within the Latino community, and actively contributes to events like the Latino Business Expo. With a strong dedication to both family and entrepreneurship, Elena is honored to be recognized as a Rising Star in the community.
Also, much thanks to the partnership we have with the Latino Business Conexión of Michigan and their support of the Awards. The Awards Night will be held Friday, September 27, 2024 starting at 5:00pm at the Cadillac Room in Lansing’s REO Town.
