Leadership for a Multicultural Age
Juana Bordas
Multicultural leadership resonates with
many
cultures and encourages diverse people to actively
engage, contribute, and to tap their potential. In a
globalized economy, success for leaders in the future
will rest on their ability to shift to a multicultural
approach. Juana will share insights and findings
from her book which identifies eight core leadership
principles common to Latino, African-American,
and American Indian cultures-principles deeply
rooted in each culture’s values and developed under
the most trying conditions.
Juana Bordas is President of the Mestiza Leadership
International, serves on the boards of the
Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership and
the International Leadership Association.
A former faculty member of the Center for Creative
Leadership, she was the founding president/CEO
of National Hispana Leadership Institute. Juana
is a founder of Mi Casa Women’s Center and the
Circle of Latina Leadership. She has twenty years
experience managing nonprofit organizations.
Juana was initiated into the Colorado Women’s
Hall of Fame and received the Franklin Miller
Award from the US Peace Corps for her lifelong
commitment to advance communities of color.
In 2006, Juana received the Leadership Legacy
award from Spellman College’s Center for
Leadership and Engagement.
