2016 LCDA Convening, Board with then President and CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Meg Whitman.
“I am encouraged by the work that we're
doing,” Aguilera states. “Investment in the Hispanic
community has guided my entire career since
starting with NCLR, my mission has been to elevate
the talents and contributions of Latinos in all walks of
life, especially at the highest levels of leadership;
whether it be in Congress, government, or the private
sector.”
For Aguilera, this is not just a Latino
imperative.
“It is a population where the success of the U.S.
depends on a robust, growing, and successful Latino
community because our numbers in the workforce
and purchasing power are significant today and for
growing a stronger future for the U.S,” she shares.
In addition to LCDA’s core work in 2019,
Aguilera along with her team are working on efforts
to grow demand by engaging consumer-facing
companies and others with board seat
opportunities, leveraging relationships with
institutional investors for a diversity push that is
inclusive of Latino and ethnic/racial talent, and
continuing to work proactively with search firm and
private-equity partners.
“LCDA is at an inflection point--a time when it
is poised for next-level growth with the momentum
for boardroom diversity building in significant ways,”
states Aguilera. “Our 4th Annual Convening is set in
New York City with Bank of America, Chairman and
CEO, Brian Moynihan, as the featured speaker. LCDA
is proud to receive support from high-caliber
influencers for this invitation-only convening. While
our success is still in its infancy, we expect to see
continued progress.”
