The Power We Build: The Next Chapter of Latina Economic Leadership
About this Event
The Next Chapter of Latina Economic Leadership
Latinas are one of the fastest-growing forces shaping the future of our economy. Our collective contributions continue to expand across industries, organizations, and communities — but the next chapter is about more than recognizing our economic influence.
It is about transforming that momentum into meaningful outcomes: stronger careers, greater leadership representation, increased financial confidence, and long-term wealth creation.
Inspired by insights from the Latino Donor Collaborative, Women of ALPFA’s annual event explores the connection between Latina economic opportunity and personal economic mobility.
Featuring a keynote and leadership panel with accomplished leaders across banking, real estate, healthcare, and entrepreneurship; this event will highlight the diverse pathways Latinas are creating to drive economic impact.
