The nonprofit organization, which empowers and equips Latinas and diverse first-generation professionals to overcome systemic barriers in the workplace through culturally relevant leadership programs, recently announced the expansion of its renowned mission to inspire the next generation of these female executives to advance their careers and to be a strategic partner to companies seeking to recruit, retain and promote diverse talent from historically underrepresented groups.

Tammy Ramos, J.D., Executive Director of LatinaVIDA, stated:

As we expand our mission, we are eager to collaborate with organizations who are looking for real solutions to talent development, talent recruitment and leadership training internally.

“We seek to strategize with organizations so that they can create an infrastructure that supports a diverse succession plan, a pipeline of diverse talent, and an inclusive company culture,” added Ramos.
