Annual Latina Symposium

The Latina Symposium, held every May at the North Seattle College, is a free event conducted in Spanish.
Each year for a day, we discuss and learn about a specific topic of relevance for the community, while also offering a moment of entertainment and pampering where women can relax, connect or even make new friends.
The Symposium is organized entirely by a team of volunteers: Latinas working for other Latinas to enrich the community under the values of respect, inclusion and empowerment.
 
During the Symposium you have a chance to:
 
    • Make valuable contacts through multiple networking groups.
    • Get personal insight into investing on your personal growth from trainers and mentors
    • Gain more wealth-building skills through specific networks.
    • Explore other devoting fields and training opportunities
    • Acquire new tools, skills, and strategies
 
 If you want to be a part of this annual event, please contact us or follow us with the latest updates and new on our Facebook Page, Somos Mujeres Latinas.

Who do we recognize?

As part of our collaboration with the community, the Latina Symposium acknowledges the contribution of women who lead projects that help empower many in the Latino Community.  Every year the Symposium honors a Latina woman who demonstrates an unflinching and passionate commitment to the advancement of the Latino community.

The recipient of this year’s award Manos Unidas is such a person. ​For the last 15 years she has been a community organizer, mentor, trainer, event planner, facilitator and member of Seattle Schools District Advisory Board on community engagement. ​In all this work she has declared and encouraged the voices of parents. In her work as a facilitator with Quetzal’s Padres Promotores she gave parents tools and motivation to get engaged at their children’s schools. She was also part of ELLA, a leadership training model that focused on Latinos and leadership. She was part of a team that conducted a conference for youth called “Educacion para Todos.”  She also was a lead planner for a college fair titled “Contactos y Becas.” This college fair attracted 300 participants. These are a few of the jobs she has held to promote a more engaged and educated Latino community. We are proud and honored to have her as a member of our Latino community. I would like to present to you the 2017 recipient of the Latina Symposium Manos Unidas’ award to Ms. Analia Bertoni.
