2025 LEILA AWARDS

May 16, 2025

6 PM - 11 PM

Black tie event

Unidas Rising: Together We Empower

Immerse yourself in a bold and empowering evening where unity ignites courage, and every connection strengthens the foundation of generational wealth.

Boldness in Red: The color red will be the evening’s defining symbol—a tribute to the courage, determination, and fearlessness of Latina entrepreneurs who dare to break barriers and redefine success.

As we gather to celebrate, let us remember that boldness, much like the red we’ll embrace, symbolizes the courage these women show in their daily lives—courage to face adversity, seize opportunities, and rise together.

Join us for this unforgettable evening where excellence, empowerment, and courage take center stage.

The Latinas nominated are entrepreneurs that have demonstrated leadership and service to their community. We are thrilled to recognize these brilliant women in three categories: LATINA EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR AWARD, LATINA OWNED EMERGING BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AWARD, and LATINA OWNED BUSINESS.

Do you know a ‘Triunfadora’ that deserves to be honored at our upcoming LEILA Awards? We are looking to honor Latina-Owned businesses and Latina executives that have demonstrated an innovative business approach, resilience & success and have an impact on the local business community in the Inland Empire.
