On Thursday, March 1, the Latino Leadership Institute co-hosted the Power In Numbers: Latinos Fueling Colorado’s Economic Growth and Workforce symposium with the Denver Business Journal. The sold-out event was attended by nearly 150 business and community leaders from across the Denver Metro area.

Demographic, business and industry experts from across sectors presented relevant data on growth trends of Colorado’s Latino community and discussed the strategies companies are employing to maximize market share while fostering diverse and inclusive work places. The symposium was part of the Latino Leadership Institute’s Impact Initiative which was launched last year.
