Association Latinos
2026 Regional Roundtable: Next-Level Leadership Development Washington DC | Wednesday, May 13 | 12–5 pm ET
Are you leading through change, or being led by it?
The association sector is moving fast. Volatility. Uncertainty. Complexity. Ambiguity. VUCA is not just a framework. It is your daily reality as an association professional.
Association Latinos is convening a select cohort of mid- to senior-career association professionals in the DC area for a half-day, practitioner-led experience. We will tackle one question together: how do you lead with clarity when the ground keeps shifting?
This is a working session. You will leave with strategies you can apply immediately.
Three sessions. Three expert practitioners.
- Advancing Association Best Practices Mark Lowry | Higher Logic
- Advancing Association Leadership Carlos Cardenas, CAE, AAiP | Chair, Association Latinos
- Advancing Association Careers Eduardo Arabu, MSPPM, CAE | CEO, National Hispanic Corporate Council
Who should attend
Mid- to senior-career professionals. Manager-level and above. 5+ years in the association sector. Non-Latinos are welcome.

Hosted by Higher Logic. Presented by Association Latinos.
Learning Objectives:

- Connect with a curated cohort of association professionals facing the same VUCA challenges.
- Pressure-test your leadership approach against real-world trends and peer experience.
- Build a personal toolkit of strategies you can bring back to your team.
