Hispanics in Philanthropy would like to warmly welcome five new members to its board, which has been expanded this year from a prior maximum of 13 to a new maximum of 16 directors.
The new directors include: Miguel Bustos, who previously served on the HIP board and lives in San Francisco; Rafael Cortés Dapena, head of Fundación Ángel Ramos located in Puerto Rico; Intel Foundation Chair Shelly M. Esque, an Arizonan; Rui Mesquita Cordeiro, the W.K. Kellogg Foundations’ program leader for Latin America, and Dr. Beatriz Maria Solís, a Healthy Communities leader at The California Endowment in Southern California.
Here’s a brief look at this impressive group:
Miguel Bustos, who is based in his native San Francisco, is the Wells Fargo senior vice president, community relations, and outreach regional director for Northern and Central California, Montana, and Alaska. He previously managed grantmaking for the Levi Strauss Foundation in Latin America and Canada focusing on HIV/AIDS, asset building, and workers’ rights, as well as being responsible for Community Involvement Teams in both places. He was also responsible for the foundation’s U.S. HIV/AIDS grantmaking endeavors.
Beyond the philanthropic sector, Miguel has been a distinguished public servant who advised President Clinton and Vice President Gore at the White House, and worked for U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland). He also served as director of boards and commissions under then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and as director of intergovernmental affairs for then-Oakland Mayor Ronald V. Dellums.
He earned a bachelor of arts degree in international affairs from Holy Names University, in Oakland, California; a master of arts degree in international relations from American University, in Washington, D.C., and a master’s degree in business administration with a focus on corporate social responsibility from St. Mary’s College of California. In addition to joining the HIP board, Miguel also currently sits on the boards of Glide Memorial Church and the Mexican Museum, both in San Francisco.

Glide and the foundation bought the Hotel Californian two blocks from the church in 1935 and it was operated as a temperance hotel for decades. She also funded a home for young working Christian women and a dorm for young Christian women at U.C. Berkeley.[1]
The foundation has worked with investor Warren Buffett who has donated the proceeds from his eBay "Power Lunch with Warren Buffett" auctions to Glide.
