This is the first of many ELLA Institute initiatives that will benefit rising Latina leaders and professionals, and is at the heart of ELLA Institute’s mission to advance the lives and careers of women through innovate programs and connection to a national network of exceptional women.
The event is organized by Hilda Ramirez, Chief Strategist at Got2BSocial.com, and launched in partnership with LAM Network, an online and event-driven professional social network for Latino professionals.
The Latina Leadership Network has 1,850 current members, and is an active online community of talented, professionals Latinas across diverse sectors, including women in academia, corporate America, the non-profit sector, health careers, STEM and government. The network also includes college and graduate students, authors, artist and social media influencers. The network, which launched only seven months ago, is a testament of the profound need for career-bound and professional Latinas to connect and dialogue around issues that matter to them. Informal peer mentoring, support and resource/opportunities sharing are among the many reasons why the Latina Leadership Network has grown so rapidly.
