For over 30 years, HOPE has built political and economic parity for Latinas through leadership, advocacy, and education, serving more than 60,000 women. Its leadership programs, the Leadership Institute, the Youth and College Leadership Programs, and the Binational Fellowship, have produced one of the deepest pipelines of Latina leadership in the country: more than 1,800 alumnae since 1999.
That network is remarkable. HOPE alumnae have been elected to office, appointed to hundreds of government boards and commissions, and lead across every sector. But there was no way to actually see it online. When a recruiter, an elected official, or an organization wanted to find and connect with accomplished Latina leaders, the talent existed but the means to discover it didn't. Decades of leadership were spread across records that weren't built to be searched, surfaced, or shared.
Noteworthy Lab designed and built the HOPE Roster, a custom platform that turns HOPE's alumnae network into a discoverable directory. Alumnae across all four leadership programs have profiles, and the people looking to hire or appoint them, recruiters, appointment secretaries, elected officials, community leaders, and company heads, can search and connect.
The platform handles the full lifecycle: alumnae create and manage their own profiles through a personal dashboard, administrators manage the roster through an admin dashboard, and visitors browse and search the directory by the criteria that matter to them. It was built as real software on a modern no-code and custom stack, designed to scale as HOPE's pipeline grows and to be maintained by HOPE's own team.
The point was discoverability, not just a database. A network this accomplished only creates opportunity if the right people can find it, so we built the Roster around the searchers as much as the alumnae.
The HOPE Roster gives the organization a public-facing home for its alumnae and a tool that does real work: connecting top Latina talent to the institutions seeking it.
1,240+ profiles
Alumnae across four HOPE leadership programs, searchable in one place for the first time.
What the Roster surfaces is a community whose reach is hard to overstate: HOPE alumnae who have been elected to office, served on more than 480 government-appointed boards and commissions, and hold leadership roles across government, business, and community organizations nationwide and in Mexico. The platform makes that collective leadership visible and reachable, turning a celebrated network into one that can actively open doors.
