Join us for our 11th Annual Forum on the Latino Community:
“The Drivers of Growth and Our Path Toward Solidarity Economics”
Every year, the Latino Leadership Council hosts our flagship event that attracts 200+ leaders in the government, health, education, human services, law enforcement, non-profit, and business sectors to learn about the cultural, linguistic, and capacity challenges and solutions to serve the
largest ethnic group in California.
Our keynotes – Dr. Manuel Pastor, a Distinguished Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California and co-author of Solidarity Economics and CEO Paulina Gonzalez Brito from Rise Economy – will showcase the contributions of Latinos/as to our economy – as employees, employers and business owners – and the social movements that drive and impede progress.
