How do you add DEI principles to leadership development?
We must lead with an intersectional lens! Intersectionality is important as it helps us consider and understand how various aspects of our identities affect us and others. This approach enables us to create fair and inclusive spaces by recognizing the complexities that can lead to oppression or privilege. By doing so, we build supportive communities that include allies and promote equality, ultimately creating a more balanced environment for everyone.

Economic Empowerment
The Aspen City Action Lab looks to strengthen one critical pain point in the business ecosystem: how to create sustained entrepreneurial infrastructure among disparate but critical cross-sector leaders looking to drive local Latino business success. Our theory of change is simple: in order to deliver inclusive and equitable outcomes for Latino/Hispanic firms, cross-sector coalitions must become operational before a city or community need to tap into…
