NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Latin Business Today, a dynamic new online publication serving the unique needs of Latino entrepreneurs and professionals, has launched with support from blue-chip advertisers. Featuring an innovative content model that emphasizes practical career guidance, networking, and mentoring, the site also boasts alliances with a broad array of professional, research, and advocacy organizations nationwide, according to founder, managing partner, and publisher Barry Mittelman.

"Latino business owners and professionals are sure to benefit from this website's rich editorial offerings, to say nothing of its impressive partnerships. We are proud to be one of LatinBusinessToday.com partners," said Latino Coalition Chairman Hector V. Barreto, who served as administrator of the Small Business Administration under President George W. Bush.
