2026 Association Latinos Board of Directors

Association Latinos is led by a volunteer Board of Directors—industry leaders committed to increasing Latino representation in associations.

Latinos remain vastly underrepresented in association leadership, corporate boards, government, and entertainment. We’re here to change that. Our board is driving progress, paving the way for greater visibility, influence, and leadership opportunities for Latino professionals in the association space.
