LCDA Familia,
In March, we wrapped up a successful 2023 Spring BoardReady Institute (BRI) hosted by Wells Fargo in Charlotte, NC. The Latino Corporate Directors Education Foundation (LCDEF) brought together over 60 faculty, partners, and executives to prepare and position them for corporate governance excellence. Thank you to our host, Wells Fargo, partners, and faculty for supporting LCDEF’s premiere BoardReady Institute (BRI) which offers unparalleled board preparation through a series of in-person, tailored sessions. Read on to learn who completed the 2023 Spring BRI program.
We’re proud to receive ongoing support from Founding Diamond Partner, KPMG, as this year’s host of the Summer BRI BoardReady Institute, taking place on July 13-14 in Boston MA. With only a few slots remaining, we look forward to gathering LCDA members and partners for the last BRI programming of 2023.
More exciting news, we are proud to announce Toyota Motor North America will be hosting LCDA's 8th Annual Board Leaders Convening from November 1-3 in the Dallas Region (Plano, TX) — our first time hosting our convening in Texas!
