The Latina Leadership Initiative (LLI), a professional development program designed for Latinas, has announced its 2025 cohort, according to Hola Iowa. The cohort includes 16 participants and 15 mentors who will attend weekly sessions focused on topics such as career planning, public speaking, imposter syndrome, salary negotiation, entrepreneurship and financial planning. The sessions are led by LLI Executive Director Kathy Guillen. Each participant is paired with a mentor who helps expand their networks and supports the community service project they complete as part of the program. LLI launched the leadership program in 2013.
