Join APLA, ICIS, and Women in Chemicals for a powerful and interactive conversation on how Latina women are not just navigating—but thriving—in the face of industry volatility. As global markets continue to shift rapidly, the need for resilient, adaptable, and forward-thinking leaders has never been greater. This session will explore how Latina women, with their unique blend of cultural insight, emotional intelligence, and entrepreneurial spirit, are exceptionally positioned to lead through uncertainty.

The session will open with remarks from distinguished Latina leaders who will share personal stories of overcoming disruption and leading with impact. Attendees will then engage in a dynamic table discussion and real-time Slido activity, examining the question: What specific skills make Latina women strong leaders during volatile times?

Facilitated by Women in Chemicals’ Membership Chair Christie Luna, the panel will reflect on these crowd-sourced insights and explore how these traits are developed, applied, and can be cultivated across the industry. Expect an honest, inspiring, and solutions-focused dialogue designed to empower all attendees to recognize and support the leadership potential of Latina women.
