The Council for Latino Workplace Equity (CLWE) has revealed this year’s list of exemplary Latino leaders who have been honoured with a National Latino Leaders Award.
The awards highlight individuals who have achieved success in their career while paving the way for other Latinos to advance in the corporate arena, confirmed CLWE; a National Diversity Council initiative. These exemplary individuals contribute to creating and promoting a culture where Latino talent is supported and leveraged for organisational success. They demonstrate leadership excellence and high visibility in the Latino community; and maintain a record of professional accomplishments.
“Today, more than any other time, it is imperative we recognise and honour our National Latino Leaders,” said Angeles Valenciano, CEO of the National Diversity Council. “The honourees are the definition of the richness of the Latino culture; and are exemplary individuals paving the way for the Latino community at large.”
