About

Designed and hosted by Mano a Mano, the Lake County Liderazgo Initiative is the first leadership development of its kind focused on cultivating the talent, minds, and networks of emerging leaders of Latino communities in Lake County. The mission of Liderazgo is to provide a forum in which these leaders will build their capacity and understanding of policy and community issues, define and develop their leadership styles, and connect with other civic leaders.  Our vision is that over the long-term, our community will benefit from increased participation of Latinos and their allies in leadership roles in Lake County.
The three day seminar includes presentations from leaders from across the state, who speak on topics such as leadership development and social, economic, and political issues. The seminar focuses on leadership development and capacity building from a Latino/a and people of color perspective and how to elevate Latino voices in policy and community forums. Liderazgo also focuses on informing Liderazgo Fellows and engages in conversation on the structural inequalities that Latino communities are currently facing.
