Looking
to connect with more Latino
Technology Professionals? Start
a LISTA Technology Council
locally!
Starting a local LISTA
Technology Council of Latinos in
Information Sciences and
Technology Association is a
tremendous chance to develop and
grow your personal network, meet
fellow Latino technology
professionals and business
owners, promote LISTA in your
area, and create opportunities
for career and business growth.
Starting a Local LISTA
Technology Council is easy and
rewarding and will give you an
opportunity to develop
leadership skills you probably
didn’t know you had. All you
need to get started is 5 people
who are technology professionals
or businessmen/women who can
commit to a few hours a month to
make the council a success.
There are no fees to starting a
council except for dues.

LISTA will help you every step
of the way. We will help you
plan and participate in your
first meeting.
To
Start a Local technology Council
is as easy as 1-2-3.
1.
Recruit Founding Members.
Find at least 5 people in your
area who are interested in
starting a new organization in
your state and who believe in
the empowerment of the Latinos
in technology. Once you have the
5 people or if you cant find 5
people send us an email to
membership@a-lista.org we will
help you locate LISTA National
members in your state.
2.
Develop a Strategic Plan.
What can your council do
for your community? What is the
purpose of your council? What
goals will you attain in your
first year?
3. Have
a LISTA Orientation Meeting.
Organize an orientation meeting
with at least six LISTA local
members in attendance and invite
the president and other national
board members to attend. At this
meeting we will help you develop
the council’s strategic plan.
4.
Apply for LISTA Local Council
Charter. Send an
email to
membership@a-lista.org with
the following information and
ask for a Charter Package and
Council start-up guide:
5. Plan
activities to attract members
and support your objectives.
Upon the acceptance of your
request for committee status,
you are free to 3 activities
such as 1 networking events,
technology workshops with a
special guest speakers, and
community development projects.
6. Go
out and meet some people.
You will only attract new
members and recognition for your
group by getting the word out.
Become active in the community
and always inform the media of
your meetings and events. While
committees do not receive direct
funding from LISTA, we will help
you connect with our extensive
network of opportunities.
Thank you for your interest in
starting your own committee. We
look forward to seeing your city
added to the LISTA roster soon!
