The Nation’s Changing Demography: Implications for the Diversification of Leadership

This session will present an overview of the recent and future population changes in the United States. These patterns show that Latinos represent the engine of the demography of the United States. Despite the importance of Latinos for the nation’s future population and economy, Latinos continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions. The session will stress the need to groom and develop Latino leaders across the vast sector of organizations and corporations.
