Latino Leaders Luncheon

Our Latino Leaders Luncheon is dedicated to honor prominent Leaders in our communities who have made a positive impact on the quality of life and economy for us here on Long Island and surrounding areas. Our theme “Stronger Together” will create opportunities to provide support for each other as we face a new business world that has been left behind due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Hope you can join us to celebrate this year’s honorees.

VLA LEGAL FELLOWSHIPS
Legal Fellowships at VLA are available to recent law school graduates and deferred associates who can secure independent fellowship funding. VLA’s Legal Fellows interact daily with clients and gain hands-on experience analyzing, interpreting, and counseling members of New York’s arts community on legal issues pertaining to various areas of law, including intellectual property, contract, and non-profit and for-profit corporate matters.

We provide an alternative to traditional financial services that can help your business grow and thrive. Not only do we provide 1:1 support through business coaching and technical assistance, but we also make sure that your loan terms are specific to your business.
