35 corporate leaders completed the prestigious leadership advancement program in Chicago this month.
HACR proudly celebrates the successful conclusion of the 18th cohort of the HACR YHCA program, which wrapped up on June 11.
This year’s cohort features 35 dynamic professionals, each nominated by Fortune 500 or HACR member companies in recognition of their exceptional leadership and professional achievements. These emerging leaders represent the future of excellence in Corporate America.
“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the 2025 HACR YHCA program graduates,” said HACR President and CEO Cid Wilson. “Their relentless drive, commitment to excellence, and leadership within their industries are a powerful testament to the strength and promise of Hispanic talent in today’s corporate environment.”
Over two months, participants engaged in robust virtual training focused on leadership, inclusion, and impact. The program concluded with an energizing in-person experience in Chicago—four days of intensive leadership development and peer connection, including a full day of hands-on community service with The Alliance 98 (TA98), a Chicago-based nonprofit empowering youth through career-building initiatives.
A key component of the HACR YHCA experience is its emphasis on cultural identity, resilience, and the power of diverse perspectives. Participants shared stories rooted in bicultural and multilingual experiences, creating a supportive network grounded in mutual empowerment.
The in-person capstone coincided with the 2025 HACR Executive Programs, allowing the HACR YHCA cohort to engage with senior executives and corporate allies during shared meals and receptions, unlocking unique cross-generational dialogue and networking opportunities.
