Our Organization
LICI was formed in 2007 and has been well established as a Latino advocacy organization in California for more than 20 years. Its founders include national
leaders on issues involving Latino Veterans affairs, leaders from the Latino business community, Executives focused on Latino students and their families, Latino educators, and Leaders of Latino community based organizations. All are former or current Chairs, Presidents or Executive Directors of Latino organizations with national standing.
LICI believes that the Latino community is one of the great keys to America's future. Historically Latinos have been underrepresented in corporate America, which is why this organization exists, for the advancement of Latinos in corporate America. The Latino Institute for Corporate Inclusion does this by working with corporations to increase Latino diversity on their boards of directors, in their workforce, in the procurement of goods and services and as recipients of their philanthropy.
Latino owned businesses are capable of providing quality products and services in a timely manner at competitive prices. However they are too frequently not given the opportunity to compete with other vendors. Additionally Latinos make excellent and loyal employees at all levels. When given an equal opportunity for employment they bring valuable skills, talent and dedication to companies of all sizes. Finally, Latinos understand the importance of leadership and governance as well as the associated responsibilities of corporate boards.
