Celebration of LLN shifts to later in year

Members of the Latino Leadership Network (LLN) have decided to shift the date of its celebration. The celebration was scheduled to take place in April but will be postponed due to the advisory from the governor around COVID-19. Members of the planning committee are working with key speakers and performers to find the next best date. 

LLN is extremely thankful to the state agencies that had agreed to offer their support and sponsorship of the event. This support was leading up to a fiesta that was going to be inspiring, memorable, and a lot of fun. The extra time will allow the planning committee to develop a bigger and better celebration!

We will share updates as soon as possible.
