Returning for its third year, Elevando Wisconsin is a culturally relevant leadership development program within the UW–Madison Division of Extension designed to empower and connect Latinx and Spanish-speaking leaders in every community across Wisconsin. The program was co-created by Latinx leaders across Wisconsin to help participants develop and expand their professional networks while serving their communities. Sessions occur simultaneously in English and Spanish, and live interpretation ensures all participants are able to learn from and with one another.

All eight sessions are free and online Tuesdays from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m., starting April 4, 2023. The program will conclude with an in-person celebration in June. Topics for this year include defining your leadership journey, building your network as a leader, keeping cultures alive and understanding yourself and others for improved communication.
