Amigos Connect. Our Team.
A network built to support, empower, and connect Hispanic professionals across the United States, where growth begins with community.
About Us
Our History and Mission
At Amigos Connect, we believe in the power of community and in the value of every Hispanic professional
working each day to build a better future in the United States.
Our mission is born from a simple yet profound truth: when Hispanics grow, an entire community moves forward.
That’s why we created a platform that transforms connection into real opportunity.
We help Hispanic professionals showcase their talent, strengthen their businesses, and open new paths for collaboration, because we understand the challenges faced by those who have left their homeland but never their determination to succeed.
More than a network, we are a meeting point for those who share roots, values, and a vision for the future.
A space where every story matters, every effort is recognized, and every success inspires the next.
CARMEN LERIS
From Our Beginnings to Today
The story of Amigos Connect is deeply intertwined with the journey of its founder, Carmen Leris, a proud Hispanic woman who transformed her experience, vision, and spirit of service into a platform that now empowers hundreds of professionals across the United States.
With more than 17 years of leadership at the helm of Carmen Leris Tax & Insure, Carmen has guided thousands of families and entrepreneurs toward stability and financial independence.
Her leadership, grounded in commitment, empathy, and integrity, revealed a shared need: to create a space where Hispanics could not only find opportunities but also strengthen one another.
That vision became Amigos Connect:
a movement that celebrates hard work, unity, and the identity of our people.
A community that inspires pride, provides real tools, and drives Hispanic economic development through collaboration and trust.
Because behind every business lies a story of perseverance, and at Amigos Connect, we make sure those stories are heard, valued, and celebrated.
