Latin American Leadership Society at UC Berkeley
A Group with a Common Passion
Latin American Leadership Society at UC Berkeley was founded in 2015 after a group of individuals decided to turn their shared interests into an official Student Organization. Since then we’ve grown as a community, and have expanded what we offer to our members. When you decide to join us, you too will gain access to various events and, most importantly, to a group of like-minded individuals who are just as passionate as you are.

OUR STRUCTURE
Executive members are elected by the members at the end of each semester/year and are the committee chairs that lead their perspectives committee/administrative club tasks. Core members are also known as committee members that are selected through an application process and gain professional development through their perspective committee work, retreat, and other social events priority. General members do not have to go through an application process and gain an invitation to some social events but become a priority for future core member applications.
