Hombres de HACE
The Hombres de HACE Men’s Leadership is a culturally-relevant leadership program that focuses on developing and advancing strong Latino/x/e leaders to increase representation within the workforce. Participants reflect on their leadership traits and competencies by examining how they intersect with gender and cultural nuances, which impact Latinos in the workplace.
Participants also engage in discussions and activities that help them tackle societal norms, cultural stereotypes, and expectations placed on Latino/x/e leaders. This enables them to deliver bottom-line results to their organizations, which will contribute to their successful career journeys.
