One demographic that is significantly underrepresented in leadership positions, despite their growing influence, is the Latino community. The need to support Latino youth in leadership development opportunities like these goes beyond mere representation; it is a strategic imperative that will yield numerous benefits for #Nebraska. Gracias Nebraska Commission on Latino-Americans for hosting!
