This is an opportunity to make connections with Latino, minority and mainstream business owners and executives and non-profit professionals, as well as to find out what successful business people have done. Maria Goncalves, an attorney with the law firm of Miller and Caine, LLP, and a Providence Public Library Trustee, will briefly speak about what has led to her success. There is a speed networking segment, as well as an opportunity to practice Spanish language skills and enjoy Latino music and food.

Partial proceeds from this event ($15 / $20 at door; adult education students $7) will benefit RIFLI’s free English as a Second Language and Citizenship classes at the public libraries.
