This is more than an organization — it’s a shared commitment. A commitment to redefining the Latino business experience and transforming the landscape at McCombs, bringing LAHMBA to everyone. We separate our efforts into two core pillars for maximum impact: Negocios and Comunidade.
Our Two Pillars: Business & Community
Our approach is twofold, ensuring we provide comprehensive support that nurtures both professional growth and personal connection.
- Latinos Mean Negocios
- Latinos Mean Comunidade
Strengthening Our Professional Futures
Business is built on relationships, networking, and opportunities. We are dedicated to providing the resources and connections necessary for our members to thrive in their careers. Here’s how we strengthen that:
Immigration Support
Navigating the legal landscape can be challenging. We connect our members with Austin’s top law firms to help answer the most important question: how to stay.
Líderes That Inspire
We bring the best of the Latino business community to McCombs. Through monthly talks and fireside chats, members learn from and connect with influential líderes who have paved the way.
Insider Track
Get ahead with our exclusive playbook. We provide a 2Y coach and a comprehensive guide to master pre-MBA programs, recruiting, and networking, giving you a competitive edge.
Funding Your Journey
An MBA is a significant investment. We actively connect our members with a wide range of opportunities, from fellowships to scholarships, to help fund their education.
Creating Lasting Connections and Memories
We believe in the power of community. Our goal is to create lasting memories while hosting kickass events that strengthen our bonds and showcase our vibrant culture to the entire MBA community.
Welcoming New MBAs
We know how hard the first month is. We provide a strong support system for incoming students (CO’s included!) to ensure they feel at home from day one.
You Get An Event!
Latinos are the masters of a good time. From bar crawls to Latino BBQs, we host a variety of social events to relax, connect, and celebrate our culture.
Affinity Groups
Share your passions with fellow members. Whether you like fútbol, weird sculptures, or board games, we have subgroups for that.
The Places We’ll Go!
Adventure is calling! We organize immersive trips to incredible destinations. Whether it’s Rio for NYE, Cuzco for a chill time, or Cancun for a party, we explore the world together.
Our Valued Partnerships
We foster strong relationships with industry leaders to create opportunities for our members. These partnerships are a cornerstone of our commitment to professional development.
Info
We are proud to have initiated partnerships with leading organizations, including Deloitte, Microsoft, BCG, EY, Bain & Company, JPMorgan Chase, Google, BlackRock, Meta, Latinx MBA, and Prospanica.
The LAHMBA Legacy
Our legacy is built on a foundation of empowerment, community, and opportunity. We strive to create a lasting impact that supports Latino leaders for years to come.
We continuously build a comprehensive playbook to help these and other initiatives remain thriving and impactful, ensuring the strength of LAHMBA for future generations.
Our Cycle of Success
Our model is designed to create a virtuous cycle of support, growth, and achievement. This framework ensures that as our members succeed, they, in turn, strengthen the community.
