What an incredible past couple of days connecting with brilliant legal minds at the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) Corporate Counsel Conference!

I was especially honored to participate again this year in the HNBA's PODER program. This incredible initiative is doing the vital work of equipping Hispanic legal professionals (like me) with the critical business skills, network, and strategic vision necessary to succeed in the C-suite.

It is so rewarding to be part of a program dedicated to preparing Latino(a) leaders to step confidently into the General Counsel roles at some of the most influential companies in the nation.

​The energy, candor, and insights shared this week were truly unmatched. A huge thank you to Angel Gomez,  Jose Ramon Gonzalez, Julia A. Lopez and the HNBA leadership who made this week such a resounding success.

​Also, not to bury the lead: Houston, we have a conference! I am absolutely thrilled to share that we will be hosting the HNBA CCC right here in our hometown next year. We're already getting to work to make it an unforgettable experience. Everyone make sure you bring your boots and cowboy hats!

Also, also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the outstanding showing that our Houston Hispanic Bar Association(HISBA) board had at this conference. What an amazing group.

See you all in 2027!

Gustavo Torres, Vice President HisBA Houston
