LCDA convenes Latino directors and executives at the highest levels of corporate leadership who share our mission: to increase the number of US Latinos on corporate boards. LCDA's strategy to accelerate Latino placements on corporate boards is focused on three areas:
LCDA is growing demand by moving the needle on the inclusion of Latinos on corporate boards. Our multifaceted strategy includes serving as an advocate and resource to boards, CEOs, search firms, and others who influence board placement.
The Latino Corporate Directors Educational Foundation's (LCDEF) BoardReady Institute (BRI) is a comprehensive program designed to position and grow the pool of highly credentialed Latino executives and national leaders for corporate board service
LCDA's annual meeting showcases Latino corporate talent and convenes directors, CEOs, and leading authorities on timely corporate governance topics and thought leadership to promote board diversity.
“We have an incredible opportunity to help corporate America, when we get in the room our contributions are going to be even more massive than what anyone expected by giving us a chance”
Bernard J. Tyson, Late Chairman & CEO - Kaiser Permanente | 2018 LCDA Corporate Visionary Awardee
"LCDA's work is critically needed. The exceedingly low levels of Latinos on boards is unacceptable in 2017, especially when there are qualified Latinos to fill those seats. We need to govern for growth with the future in mind. Board diversity is good for business, makes boards stronger, and reduces group-think."
Mary Jo White, Former SEC Chair
LCDA is playing a critical role in changing perceptions and advancing highly qualified Latino directors. "Great work that you are doing here, not only changing the composition of corporate America on boards, but to some degree, the complexion, it is about the insights and thoughts that so many people of different backgrounds can bring."
Oscar Munoz, CEO - United Airlines
