Despite the rapidly growing Hispanic population in the United States, Latinas in particular are underrepresented in leadership positions across the board.

What is needed to make these opportunities more accessible to people of color and what unique challenges do Hispanic women face in rising to management positions? How can current Latina leaders act as role models and mentors to the next generation of American leaders?

The Hill Latino convened Hispanic women leaders from politics, government, education, business, entrepreneurship and media for a dialogue on diversity, leadership and building a pipeline of tomorrow’s Latina leaders.
