Interested in serving on
boards or commissions or in diversifying your
organization or agency?
Connect with the Latino Leadership Connections
Project
Connecting Leaders to Leadership - Latino
representation on decision-making boards and
commissions in Illinois and across the country has
remained less than 5% during the last five years. Yet,
the population of the Latino community in the Midwest
is expected to grow to 33% by the year 2040. The
Latino community is severely behind the curve when it
comes to representation in entities that make
decisions impacting our lives. This reality is not lost
on organizations that depend on the Latino
community. There are entities that have expressed a
desire to bring in talented individuals who identify with
their mission and wish to contribute their skills and
expertise for the benefit of their organization and the
Latino community.
In an effort to address the demand for Latino
representation on commissions, boards and
committees, El Valor and The Chicago Community
Trust established the
Latino Leadership
Connections Project (LLCP). The goal of
LLCP is to bridge mutually beneficial relationships
between Latinos and decision-making entities
including boards of directors, advisory committees,
advocacy groups, associate boards and councils, to
increase Latino representation at these levels. LLCP
will collaborate with the
Chicago
Latino Network and fellow well known
leadership organizations to implement strategies to
increasing Latino participation in these areas and to
providing support to Latinos interested in this type of
service through networking opportunities and a
database to connect them to the position that best fit
their interest and qualifications.
Are you ready for civic leadership? We invite
Latino professionals and leaders interested in serving
on boards and commissions to engage with the
Latino Leadership Connections Project. Contacting
Maria Esther Lopez, director for LLCP, will begin a
dialogue to discover your interests, passion,
experience and availability. In addition, LLCP will
provide a series of
workshops developed by
experienced civic leaders who wish to share what they
learned through their extensive experience in order to
prepare the next generation of individuals ready to
take on leadership roles. The first workshop will take
place in February 2010.
Are you seeking to diversify your board, advisory
committee or commission? We invite
organizations interested in diversifying their
leadership to connect with LLCP to discuss
leadership opportunities. Understanding the
organization's mission and needs, including skill sets
required, e.g. law, media, education, and diversity
goals, will help us identify individual candidates that
best match your organization's needs. For more
information, please contact Maria at the number below
to set up a time to meet.
For more information about the Latino Leadership
Connections Project, please contact Maria Esther
López at (312) 492-5936 or
maria.lopez@elvalor.net.
In the meantime, we share with you the entities with
who we work that seek talented individuals to join their
leadership teams. We hope to hear from you soon!
