Conexion, Inc.
About
Conexión, Inc. is a Boston-based nonprofit that runs mentoring and leadership programs for Hispanic and Latino professionals. Its core model pairs emerging leaders with executive mentors who help with goal setting, career planning, thought leadership and building professional networks. Alumni credit the program with helping them grow as leaders, connect with Boston’s philanthropic community and, in at least one case, decide to run for public office.
The organization has grown well beyond Boston over its first 20 years, reaching 26 states and Puerto Rico, a milestone covered by Hispanic Executive Magazine. It has partnered with more than 72 organizations, including Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies. Its work is framed around the gap between the economic weight of Latinos in the U.S. workforce and their limited presence in executive ranks, and it publishes research on related topics such as voter participation.
