“Latino issues are America’s issues. That’s why we are creating conversations between a diverse group of people to contribute solutions to problems that will affect us all,” said Abigail Golden-Vázquez, executive director of the Latinos and Society Program.

“America’s Future Summit brings together leaders from across sectors to work on increasing Latino economic mobility as a way to increase prosperity for all Americans.”

    • Entrepreneurship
    • Uniting Black and Brown communities
    • Gentrification
    • Drivers of prosperity

Discussion panels will include Laysha Ward, Target executive vice president and chief external engagement officer, Juan Salgado, chancellor of City Colleges of Chicago, Arne Duncan, former Secretary of Education and managing partner of the Emerson Collective.
