INDIANA LATINO LEADERSHIP CIRCLE The Leadership Circle is an annual, two year-long commitment that incorporates a multi-pronged approach to bringing Latino professionals front and center, both within the Latino community as well as within the larger community. Through individualized mentoring, networking leadership development opportunities, and think tank sessions based on issues of importance, these talented rising leaders will have a unique opportunity to learn from established community members as well as gain valuable skills that will focus on their own empowerment. MISSION: The purpose of The Leadership Circle is to identify and mentor emerging Latino leaders by connecting them with respected, influential community leaders and strategic empowerment opportunities. VISION: Our vision is to increase the pool of Latino leaders within Indiana to further the development of communities throughout the state. By nurturing young men and women statewide and connecting them with opportunities that make a significant community impact, we are directly raising the profile, well-being and economic impact of the community while building a solid foundation of bright, qualified Latino leaders as impactful citizens and role models for our youth.
