1st Biennial El Paso Conference for Women February 8-9, 2008.   El Paso Conference for Women

Lolis Garcia-Baab is a talented bilingual communications professional with vast experience in radio and television production and broadcasting. She is the host of the syndicated show The Ladies Room with Lolis, a popular women’s radio talk show that airs once a week in Austin’s TalkRadio 1370 AM and in EL Paso’s 1650 KHRO. The Ladies Room with Lolis provides diverse programming that is informative, entertaining and inspirational. Guest interviews are featured in a multitude of topics, including current affairs, education, business, spirituality, family and fashion. The show is about women and their varied interests in today’s fast paced multicultural society.

Lolis was born in Mexico City and was educated in the US. She is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, with honors degrees in Broadcast Journalism (BS) and Political Science (BA). After college, she quickly rose to the ranks of Executive Producer of the March of Dimes Telethon in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, D.C. She produced and directed several 24-hour live telethons and created 18 separate documentaries on the work of the March of Dimes.

Lolis is also a distinguished business and community leader. In 1985, she became owner and producer for the World Entertainment Network (WEN), in Cleveland, Ohio. WEN produced work in the entertainment, commercial and technical fields. She wrote, produced and directed the Cleveland Browns video "Masters of the Gridiron". The video received extensive national air time including The Tonight Show and MTV. During that time Lolis also co-hosted a radio call-in music and talk show with her husband, Longhorn and NFL-veteran Mike Baab, covering a variety of topics, from sports to relationships.

Lolis was also the successful partner of a weight-loss business, which she grew from one location to nine in less than three years. She directed the business’s marketing and advertising programs, while producing classes on tape and video to reach the busy working women. The exposure her production company and weight-loss business received, earned her a leading role on WEWS-ABC affiliate in Cleveland, Ohio. She appeared on camera during the news and the morning show with special interest stories on Latin America, Europe and women’s lifestyle issues.

Lolis believes that giving back is not only a responsibility but a privilege. She holds that her life’s primary purpose is to be of service to others, a value she continually instills in her two daughters. Her involvement and support of numerous organizations around the world are evidence of her commitment. Lolis is a member of the Board of Directors of Mexic-Arte Museum; The greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce; The Women’s Symphony League; The Ronald McDonald House; National Charity League; Miracle Foundation; The Nobelity Project; The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation; Las Comadres; and Kappa Kappa Gamma Alumni. She also performs several times a year for young children at bi-lingual elementary schools, to teach them about classical music. More recently she helped produce “La Sinfonica de Simon” educational CD for children. It was because women are underserved and under-represented in radio that Lolis launched “The Ladies Room with Lolis” in Texas, in March 2006.
