The RMA Office of Civil Rights held an observance to recognize Hispanic Heritage month
which takes place September 15 to October 15.
This year's theme is "Shaping the Bright Future of America". Attendees were treated to a
four-person panel of leaders from various agencies throughout USDA presenting on the topic of
"Becoming Your Own GPS: Navigating Your Career to Success!" The panelists shared first-hand
accounts of their personal career journeys, with
stories about their Hispanic roots, to give attendees insight on how to best navigate their own.
RMA Equal Opportunity Specialist Ron
Brown spoke about how shaping a brighter future through career navigation, aligns with the
themes of 2017's Hispanic Heritage month.
"Hopefully the sharing of the panelists' personal and career stories, helped to show the im32

portance and significance of Hispanic Heritage,
culture, and career success, causing others to
learn and enhance their own efforts when navigating their career paths into the future," said
Brown.
Olga Morales, panel moderator and of Puerto
Rican descent, gave a personal account of how
she managed her career. She stressed an important key to career navigation; self-assessment.
Morales says that self-assessment, preparation,
and being able to reroute or redirect one's career
are essential keys to finding your own GPS for
career navigation.
"When we are planning our career, we need
to think about what our interests are and what
are our professional strengths and weaknesses,
"said Morales. "As we are moving in our careers,
we need to stop and ensure that we have that
career development and that we get the skills
and knowledge necessary to make it to that final
destination."
Hispanic Heritage Month Panelist Margo Erny, Chief Financial Officer at USDA Risk
Management Agency, echoed Morales' sentiments when discussing another important key to
career navigation; resiliency. She says that people
should expect obstacles and left a bit of advice
that she has given to members of her own staff
about how to recover from potential pitfalls in
their careers.
"The most important thing is not that you
make a mistake but how you recover from it,"
Erny explained. "You are your own best advocate,
you are the expert at your job and no one is coming to save you. Do the research, do the analysis,
do the hard work, and you will be successful."
