posted Aug. 24, 2011
The Leadership Center today announced it will partner with the Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee (HPGM) to expand the leadership development offerings of both organizations.
The Leadership Center will conduct a series of programs designed specifically for Milwaukee’s Hispanic professionals throughout 2011 and 2012, beginning Sept. 7.
Planned events include lunch seminars, workshops and certificate programs around topics such as change management, career and personal brand building, professional networking, accountability, emotional intelligence and leadership and strategy. Advanced professionals can also enroll in the Coaching for Leadership certificate, with Leadership for New Managers certificates open to new and aspiring managers. Registration and additional information is available at http://www.hpgm.org/leadership.aspx.
The Leadership Center’s new Hispanic programming was based upon a “needs assessment” of HPGM members. The new leadership development offerings are designed to give Hispanic professionals the chance to boost their professional development and career trajectories, facilitate growth as authentic and effective leaders, sharpen their management acumen and strengthen their abilities to influence, coach and form professional relationships.
"We are excited about our partnership with Cardinal Stritch University. It directly aligns with our mission of providing leadership development offerings to help our members reach the highest levels in corporations, non-profit and government organizations,” said Héctor Colón, executive director for the Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee. “The Leadership Center’s belief in purposeful leadership and the transformation of self also aligns directly with HPGM’s mission and vision. We are proud to have them as a partner."
"We are committed to building a pipeline of diverse leaders for southeast Wisconsin who have the skills and talent to adapt to the changing landscape of the greater Milwaukee region,” said Leadership Center executive director Peter J. Holbrook. “This partnership allows both organizations to have a bigger impact and better results in developing emerging and seasoned leaders to achieve sustainable change in our community."
