Fifty Hispanic and Latino leaders across legal, people, finance, technology and operations at launch, and more recognized every week for the next thirteen months. Your words, not ours. A card that is yours, and a full feature if you want one. A year of amplification. Every place on the list accepted, never bought.
Nominated? Your personal acceptance link is in your note. Five questions, two minutes. Your card is built from your answers. Once you accept, The Floor is yours too.
Seventy-five recognized. Four hundred forty-nine nominated. Nominations open all year.
This page is a living record. New leaders, full features, and the conversations around them join it through the month and across the year. What is here now is the beginning, not the whole.
FeaturedRecognizedComing soon
Recognized here?
The conversation continues on The Floor. Your answers, in your words, can carry into the 2027 book.
Names appear here the moment a leader accepts. The first fifty went live on 15 September, and new leaders join in a drop every Tuesday. Nominations stay open to 15 October 2027, by our editorial team or by anyone, and later acceptances join the list as they arrive. The later the nomination, the shorter its run inside this edition; every nomination is reconsidered each year.
What a place on the list holds
Not a mention. A record that keeps working long after the launch.
The words
Your story, in your words
Five questions, answered in your words, become your card. Or take the feature: a forty-five-minute conversation, editor-written and yours to approve line by line, then republish anywhere.
The card
Recognition you can carry
A designed card on the Adelante page, and in your hands the day it goes live, for your feed, your team, your newsroom. It links to you, not to us.
The year
Amplified for thirteen months
Series pages, the homepage, the app and our channels bring readers back for a full year, not a news cycle. Theirs was an event; this is a running record.
The book
The campaign closes as a book
In fall 2027, Adelante becomes a printed coffee table book: the year of leaders, chapter by chapter, in one object made to sit in lobbies and boardrooms. Every recognized leader is named in it, and our editors look to the full stories first when they choose its pieces.
It costs you nothing, and no one you work with is asked to sponsor anything. That is the whole point of how it was built.
The live edition
The list is a book being written in public.
Every leader added to this page is named in the 2027 Adelante book, and our editors choose the pieces it carries. The site is the live edition: open it and turn the pages, or browse the shelf below. Each shelf is a chapter, each spine a leader, and the empty slots are the places going up next Tuesday.
Every leader on these shelves is named in the book. The pieces it carries are our editors’ choice, and the full features are where they start.
Written as it grows
The leaders write the connective tissue
Between the chapters sit reflections from the leaders themselves, gathered on The Floor in their own words. The editors choose which ones go in, and none goes in without its writer’s approval. The book carries the conversation, not just the roster. See the room
Where partners are named
Named by level of support, never editorial
Partners are named in the printed book by the level they support: the title page, the chapter dividers and the partner pages. No partner shapes a single leader's page, in print or online. See the places in the book
Partner with the edition
Help us print it. Never help write it.
The 2027 book is made possible by the organizations that stand beside it. Every level of support has a named place in print, and none of them touches a leader’s page. Pick a place to see the full option.
Partners are named by level of support. No partner reviews, shapes or approves a leader’s page, in print or online.
Stand beside the campaign
Your name next to this list. Never on it.
Hundreds of leaders over thirteen months, 15 September 2026 through 15 October 2027. Every one arrives through a private portal that also collects their photographs, the peers they nominate and the firms they trust, and turns the willing ones into full features. Recognition is editorial and free, decided before any of this is offered. Partners stand beside all of it. Every level includes the level below it, the ad unit grows as you go up, and there is one presenting seat.
Everything in Chapter, Year and Alignment, with your unit upgraded to the top leaderboard
Presented-with credit on this page, the homepage band and the Discover band through 15 October 2027
A post announcing you as presenting partner, and a name in the closing post
Two production windows: leaders you put forward, produced as full features and priority-published

The top leaderboard across the site and the app, through the close and ninety days after
The monthly Partner Dispatch, the quarterly campaign report and the closing report
A welcome line at the Hispanic Heritage Month 2027 close, and first refusal on the next edition

Add the campaign cover for $35,000 in total (three windows), or the cover and an expanded book spread for $50,000 (four windows), both invoiced directly
Named in the 2027 book, by your level. Support at any level and your organization is named in the Adelante coffee table book: the presenting partner on the title page, chapter partners on their chapter divider, year and alignment partners on the partner pages. No partner reviews or approves a single leader’s story, in the book or online.
Trusted partner, no fee. If a leader on this list names your organization as a firm or advisor they work with, it can be listed as a trusted partner of the campaign for the whole thirteen months. Listed by name, with no logo, no ad unit and no charge, and never for sale. Every listing is approved by us before it appears, and named on the trusted partners page of the 2027 book.
Editorial independence is absolute. Recognition is free and never depends on any partner. Partners are named in the book by their level of support, and never shape who is recognized or what any leader’s page says.
Trusted partners of the campaign, aligned with its mission
Listed by name at no charge. A listing is not a sponsorship and buys nothing editorial.
Production windows. A partner puts a leader forward and we produce that leader as a full feature, within ten business days of approval, three a month across all partners. We decide what runs. The story is free to the leader, approved by them line by line, and carries no partner mark. Nomination is a door, never a guarantee.
Selection is never for sale. Partners buy branding and promotion. They never buy editorial, placement in anyone's story, or the decision to publish, and no partner is ever tied to a named leader. Every leader on this page approves their own words in full. Anyone who wants to contribute a quote to the campaign can do that for free.
How the list is built
By consent, by editorial judgment, and by nothing else.
Four hundred forty-nine leaders were nominated by Counsel Collective's editorial team, from our own relationships, from public recognition by the Hispanic National Bar Association, ALPFA, HITEC and the Latino Corporate Directors Association, from readers, and by the recognized leaders themselves through their own portals, and nominations stay open to anyone for the whole of the run. Every leader on the page chose to be on it.
No fee, sponsorship or purchase is required or accepted for inclusion, and no partner has any say in who appears. Counsel Collective is funded by advertising across the site, never on anyone's story. That is the reason it exists.

From the Floor
The leaders answer, in their own words.
Everyone recognized in Adelante is invited into a private exchange: a short set of questions, chosen by our editors, that only people who have led can really answer. The editors draw on the answers leaders approve for the 2027 book. This is a window onto that room.
Recognized leaders answer a short set of questions here, and the editors draw on the answers they approve for the 2027 Adelante book.
Recognized in Adelante? The Floor is a tab in your portal. Add your answer, back the ones worth carrying forward, and approve yours to be considered for the book. Nothing appears here until you do.
Five questions and two minutes for the card, through the link in your nomination note. Forty-five minutes if you want the fuller story. Then The Floor, where the leaders on this list answer each other and the best of it goes into the book. Either way, every word is yours before anyone else sees it.
If you were nominated, we sent you a private link. Tell us where to find you and we will get it to you today. If you are here to put someone else forward, use the same box and say so in the note.
No fee, ever · Heritage is self-declared · Nothing publishes without your sign-off
Paid partners help print and carry the 2027 book, each named by the level they support. Trusted partners are named at no cost. Neither buys anything editorial, and no leader is ever tied to a partner.
