Congratulations to Lean In Latinas: Lean In Network of the Year!
We are proud to share and celebrate a remarkable milestone for one of our valued partners in community impact and leadership. Lean In Latinas has achieved a historic honor—being named Lean In’s first-ever Network of the Year. This recognition affirms what many of us already know: when Latinas come together with purpose, commitment, and corazón, transformative change follows.
At Silicon Valley Latino, we are inspired by the work Lean In Latinas continues to champion—creating pathways to leadership, advancing pay equity, and cultivating spaces where Latinas are empowered to thrive personally and professionally. Their achievement is a powerful reminder of what collective leadership looks like and why representation matters.
Below, we are honored to share the official message from Chief Strategy Officer Nancy Marmolejo on this extraordinary moment for the organization and the comunidad they serve. ¡Juntos Adelante!
“Lean In Latinas has been named the inaugural winner of Lean In’s Network of the Year Award, a global recognition honoring the organization’s impact and leadership to close the Latina pay equity gap. The volunteer-led nonprofit is dedicated to empowering Latinas to close the gender wage gap through mentorship, education, and a strong network of Circles that foster community and professional growth. This award reflects the power of its members—Latinas who uplift one another, build leadership pathways, and champion equity in workplaces across the country.
Chief Strategy Officer Nancy Marmolejo received the award on Lean In Latinas' behalf, sharing with leaders from around the world how Lean In Latinas continues to expand its reach and impact, creating spaces where Latinas break barriers and rise together. ¡Seguimos adelante!”
Join us in helping amplify this wonderful news so that more people can learn, celebrate, and Lean In with these inspiring Latina Leaders!
