With over 15 years of experience in non-profit membership associations, LaToya brings proven strategic leadership and a deep passion for driving stakeholder engagement and fostering vibrant communities.

LaToya resides in Maryland with her family, holds a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from the University of Maryland Global Campus, and is a Certified Association Executive.  

LaToya's arrival marks a significant milestone for the Think Tank, and we are excited and grateful that she has stepped into this role. She is ready to listen to each member's needs and feedback, ensuring that our collective efforts reflect and advance the HBA’s goals for gender equity. Since the launch of the Think Tank, we have brought together senior executives from various industries to discuss and implement the necessary changes to accelerate the pace of gender equity, diversity, and inclusion—ultimately transforming our industry. We believe in the power of collaboration to create lasting impact and change for the present and future generations of women leaders.
