WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) announced the spring 2024 Global Leaders class. These exceptional individuals were chosen for the Global Leaders program because they have demonstrated outstanding leadership potential and a commitment to advancing the Hispanic community.

We have a strong network of more than 300 alumni as well as diverse corporate partners who will be standing by to help the Spring 2024 class of Global Leaders to make an impact in their communities after they complete the program. The Spring 2024 class of Global Leaders is exceptional, and I look forward to helping them achieve their goals,” said the Honorable Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chairwoman of CHLI.
