2018 Top Latino Leaders to be Honored at 4th Annual Latino Leadership Conference
LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2018 /3BL Media/ - The Council for Latino Workplace Equity (CLWE), an initiative under the National Diversity Council, will host its Fourth Annual National Latino Leadership Conference on October 10 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Los Angeles Downtown. This year’s theme is “Latino Leadership: Power of the Past, Force of the Future.”
“It is with great pride that we honor this year’s Top Latino Leaders,” said Angeles Valenciano, CEO of the National Diversity Council. “The honorees embody the diversity within the Latino culture and are exemplary individuals paving the way for the Latino community and redefining an inclusive workplace for all.”
These honorees stand tall because their roots keep them firm and their wisdom has allowed them to branch out into the world and contribute towards the nation’s success, Valenciano added. “Join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of this remarkable group of leaders from across the country.”
The CLWE seeks to recognize individuals that demonstrate leadership excellence and have earned high visibility in the Latino community while operating with the highest integrity. The 2018 Top Latino Leaders were selected based on their contributions to promoting a culture supportive of Latino talent and leveraging this talent for organizational success.
