Fourth Hispanic Leadership Summit to Set 2022 Hispanic Agenda for Progress
The Hispanic Leadership Summit is a gathering of high-level Hispanic leaders and allies to align on an agenda for progress to advance the community. In 2018, Hispanic organizations, community leaders, and allies came together with some of America’s leading companies for the first-ever Hispanic Leadership Summit. They met to discuss WHY it is important to work together and begin to create a unified agenda that advances the Hispanic community. In 2019, the summit took a hard look at WHAT are the key structural barriers that continue to hold back the progress of Hispanics across the country. Over the next year, they leveraged that knowledge to create Hispanic Sustainable Development Goals in 2020 that address the key issues: Education, Meaningful Work, Health and Wellness, and Gender Equity.

Hispanics deserve to be seen, heard and valued and technology should be a platform to reach that goal. During this session we will explore two things:
1) Within Wikipedia, there are ‘red links’, topics or people that should have pages but don’t. Unfortunately, the number of them for Latino individuals, key moments, or contributions are high. How can we ensure these are created and the Hispanic Stars, innovations and contributions are highlighted and celebrated? And join us in the Wiki-a-thon in 2022 to take action directly in Wikipedia. 2) Let’s ensure Hispanics are involved in the future big steps on any technological revolution. We’ll get to know the future outlook of technology. What are the upcoming trends? and how can the latino community benefit from them?

Women experience a gap in representation at the leadership level, a gap that is taken one step deeper when it comes to Latinas. Latinas face something known as a double pay gap, rooted in both gender and ethnicity. For every dollar that a non-Hispanic white man makes, a Latina earns just 57 cents. However, this gap is even wider if considering Latinas not accounted for in the survey measurement. Join this conversation as we discuss how to increase support and leadership representation of the gap within the gap. This discussion will examine the systemic barriers that continue to hold Latina women back and outline tactical ways to close the wage gap.
