Doing great work is only part of growing your business. The next step? Knowing how to position yourself for bigger opportunities. 💼

Marisela Medina, CEO of Medina Builders, is joining us at 2026 Latina BIZCON™ – The Leverage Year to share her experience and insights during our Procurement Panel.

If you’ve ever wondered how businesses gain access to larger contracts—or where to even FIND opportunities you may not know exist—this conversation is for you.

Come ready to learn about:
✨ Procurement and contracting opportunities
✨ How to better position your business for growth
✨ Where opportunities exist beyond your current network
✨ What business owners should know before pursuing contracts

And most importantly: bring your questions.

Latina BIZCON™ is about putting you in the room with people, information, and opportunities that can help you create greater leverage in your business.

Let’s make 2026 The Leverage Year.

08/20/2026

Latina entrepreneurs aren't just building businesses. We're helping build America's economic future.

We launch businesses.
We create jobs.
We support families.
We invest in our communities.

And we continue building—even when access to capital, networks and opportunities isn't equal.

This Latina Day, we celebrate the resilience, ambition and economic power of Latinas who continue turning ideas into businesses and businesses into legacies.

Every storefront opened.
Every employee hired.
Every contract won.
Every daughter who sees what's possible because another Latina went first.

That's impact.

That's economic power.

That's Latina leadership.

💛 Tag a Latina entrepreneur whose impact deserves to be recognized today.

To understand the future of American entrepreneurship, you need to understand the growing influence of Latina business owners.

Behind the numbers are women building companies, employing people, creating generational wealth and investing back into their communities.

But economic impact isn't only about how many businesses Latinas create.

It's also about what becomes possible when Latina entrepreneurs have greater access to:

Capital.

Contracts.

Education.

Technology.

Networks.

Visibility.

Swipe through as we celebrate the economic power and resilience of Latina entrepreneurs.

Then share this post so more people understand why investing in Latina-owned businesses matters.

Do I understand my responsibilities as an employer?
Do I have the right insurance?
Are my workplace policies clear?
Do I document important employment decisions?
Am I creating systems that can grow with my team?

Swipe through five areas every growing business owner should start thinking about.
