The Latina Leadership Summit will take place this September 17th during the USHCC’s 30th Annual National Convention & Business Expo in Denver, Colorado.
The summit continues a comprehensive initiative by the USHCC aiming to provide current and aspiring Latina business owners with access to the tools, resources and information they need to establish themselves, grow and succeed in a competitive environment.
The Latina Leadership Summit is a great opportunity for all business leaders who want to increase their network and identify a new pool of certified minority business owners. This event will also help the participants establish new business relationships with certified Latina-owned businesses. The Summit represents the perfect occasion to enhance the corporation’s image among one of the fastest growing segments of the United States population—Hispanic women—which can in turn lead to greater awareness, trial and longer-term loyalty.
