The Kansas Leadership Center (KLC) recently released research from a study on Latino leadership perspectives in Kansas.
The report, released by the Third Floor Research team, a partnership between the KLC and the Staley School of Leadership, provides valuable findings and suggestions. The team hopes that this research will “inform workforce development and civic engagement practices so that more Latinos see themselves as leaders in Kansas organizations and communities.” Currently, more than 375,000, or 13% of the population of Kansas identifies as Latino.
“The Third Floor Research partnership is critical to understanding and advancing culturally relevant perspectives and practices of leadership that build the capacity of individuals and communities to engage today’s toughest challenges,” said Kerry Priest, Ph.D., professor at the Staley School of Leadership and director of the K-State Leadership Communication doctoral program.
