On October 23, 2025, more than 250 civic, corporate, and community leaders gathered at the Museum of Science in Boston to celebrate 20 years of Conexión and launch the next chapter of collective impact.

Built for Leadership. Proven by Impact.

For two decades, Conexión has developed, connected, and elevated professional leaders shaping a more inclusive and innovative future.

Conexión Alumna Jill Valdés Horwood, Chief Climate and Resilience Officer for Massport, captured the essence of Conexión’s impact:

“It was the first time I was in a room with really smart, driven Latinos. It empowered me in a different way and allowed me to do my job, representing the diversity of Boston, with a new, more authentic lens.“

Make Your Mark. Investing in What’s Next

The evening marked the launch of the Make Your Mark Campaign, supporting scholarships for nonprofit and entrepreneurial leaders, strengthening leadership development, and advancing a national impact study.

By the end of the evening, $43,000 was raised, with continued donations as our community invests in what’s next.
