EVENTS
Tribute to Mayors
Convened during the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) winter and summer meetings. This ‘must attend’ event provides a great networking experience for all guests. Mayors, area elected officials, policy-makers, corporate executives, community leaders, industry experts, and political insiders are invited. The Antonio Villaraigosa Leadership Award is presented to a mayor from a city with a significant Latino population who has exhibited an outstanding commitment to bringing diverse communities together.
Convention Series
The Latino Leaders Convention Series consists of two events during the 2024 national Democratic and Republican party conventions to present the Eagle Leadership Award to a worthy Latino leader from each political party. An evening reception in Milwaukee and a luncheon event in Chicago will provide attendees presence at each convention by supporting a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to bringing leaders together with Latino delegates, elected officials, community leaders, corporate partners, community activists and more in attendance.
Latino Leaders Luncheon Series
Provides a platform for prominent Latino leaders to share their personal story of obstacles overcome to achieve success. In addition, it provides a networking opportunity for elected officials, policy makers, corporate executives, opinion leaders, community activists, industry experts, and political insiders. The program includes the presentation of the Eagle Leadership Award to a national leader who has made a significant impact on the lives of Latinos living in the United States. It also features a community partner serving the Latino community.
Cafecito Series
A new platform aimed to educate, inspire, and prepare the next generation of leaders. The Rising Star Award will be presented to an emerging Latino/Latina leader who has demonstrated exceptional promise, leadership, and commitment to their community. The event will include a moderated intergenerational discussion between the honoree and an iconic, seasoned leader with an in-person audience of young professionals, elected and appointed officials, corporate executives, opinion leaders and community activists.
MATERIALS FOR LEARNING
The Latino Leaders Network partnered with the California Global Education Project to develop learning activities that will engage students to learn about, relate to, connect with, and act upon the powerful stories of Latino leaders in contemporary society.
