8th Annual Lideramos National Latino Leadership Symposium

Description

The LIDERAMOS National Latino Leadership Symposium is the premier national gathering designed to elevate, connect, and strengthen Latino and Latina leaders from across the United States. This dynamic, three-day experience brings together upwards of 200 emerging and established leaders, program directors, organizers, and alumni who are committed to advancing leadership grounded in culture, community, and collective impact.

In 2026, the Colorado Springs Hispanic Education Foundation and the Adelante Leadership Institute will proudly serve as co-hosts, welcoming Latino talent from across the country to Southern Colorado. Together with LIDERAMOS, the symposium will offer a vibrant space for:

Leadership Development & Learning

Interactive workshops, masterclasses, and peer-learning circles focused on culturally rooted leadership, narrative change, community advocacy, organizational excellence, equity, and systems-level impact.

National Networking & Collaboration

A powerful convening of Latino and Latina leaders, allowing participants to share best practices, collaborate across regions, and strengthen a national ecosystem of leadership programs, fellows, and community builders.

Community, Culture & Inspiration

Celebrations of Latino identity, heritage, and leadership that honor the lived experience of our communities and inspire a renewed commitment to service, innovation, and collective progress.

The 2026 symposium will serve as both a learning laboratory and national hub for Latino leadership, expanding opportunity, amplifying community voice, and cultivating the next generation of leaders who will shape civic, economic, and social landscapes across the country.

By bringing this national event to Southern Colorado, the Colorado Springs Hispanic Education Foundation and the Adelante Leadership Institute are helping build a stronger, more connected, and more empowered network of Latino leaders—championing the belief that leadership flourishes when community leads the way.
