National symposium the 6th annual national symposium, themed un abrazo: latino leadership cultivating each other, convened in 2025, celebrated the collective leadership within latino communities during both challenging and celebratory times. The event provided leadership training and insights at the intersection of latino culture, history, and community engagement. The symposium featured skill-building workshops, community leadership development focused on local transformation, inspiring keynote addresses from national and local leaders, and opportunities for learning with latino peers and role models. The program included three days of networking and high-impact training, national speakers and restorative healing experts, immersion in the host city, and national and local leadership awards. Hosted in collaboration with the potawatomi casinos and hotel on the traditional homelands of the potawatomi, ho-chunk, and menominee nations, the event acknowledged the ongoing presence of Wisconsin's sovereign anishinaabe, ho-chunk, menominee, oneida, and mohican nations. Reaching capacity with over 130 participants from across the united states, the symposium demonstrated significant enthusiasm for latino leadership development, leaving attendees inspired and empowered to continue cultivating leadership and embracing community power.
