Colaresi of Casa Boricua Receives Hispanic Leadership Institute Certificate

March 4, 2015

Martha Colaresi of Casa Boricua is proud to announce that she recently completed training through the Hispanic Leadership Institute. In partnership with the Hispanic Federation the UConn Nonprofit Leadership Program (NLP) has designed and offers the Connecticut Hispanic Leadership Institute (HLI) as a benefit to Connecticut member agencies of the Federation. For a decade the Hispanic Federation has offered HLI through School of Public Affairs at Baruch College in New York City. Working with the new Connecticut Director of the Hispanic Federation, Ingrid Alvarez-DiMarzo; NLP has tailored the Institute to meet the educational needs of Latino nonprofits operating in Connecticut. The Institute is taught by University of Connecticut Department of Public Policy faculty, seasoned practitioners from the field, with lead instructor Rosaida Morales Rosario.

The HLI aims to help Latino nonprofit managers develop and improve their management skills, enhance the operations of their organization, and work more effectively within the broader community. Specifically, through the Institute, the Hispanic Federation seeks to develop a cadre of nonprofit leaders who will strengthen institutions that advance the quality of life of the Latino community. Attached is a photo of me delivering my capstone project.
