History
The Latino Leaders Luncheon Series™ was launched by the Ibarra Strategy Group, formerly Mickey Ibarra & Associates, in 2004 to provide a platform for prominent Latinos to network with each other and gain insight from their peers. The first Latino Leaders Luncheon was held at the Boston Park Plaza on July 27, 2004 during the Democratic National Convention where then Representative Bob Menendez addressed an audience of over 500 Latino delegates and leaders. 
Additional speakers have included NASA Astronaut Jose Hernandez, CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien, U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, Civil Rights activist Dolores Huerta, Congressman Xavier Becerra, and others.
