Jennifer Tarazon knows how to reach her clients; not just because she comes from a Spanish-speaking community similar to the ones she now develops programs to reach, but because her area of expertise is in providing ways for her company to establish relationships. As Director of Multicultural Engagement at Mountain America Credit Union, Jennifer explains that outreach is a lot more than 'good politics', it is integrating everything from which dialects are spoken for one base of clients to which kind of cars the sixteen-year-olds starting their first accounts are saving up for. She speaks on the importance of collaboration between entrepreneurial institutions and small businesses, why it is so important to learn about the community from which your employees come, and how to look outside of your own diaspora for mentorship opportunities. She reminds us to ditch the scarcity mindset, and that when you give someone else a seat at the table, it doesn't mean losing a seat for yourself.
