Tepeyac Leadership Announces 2024 TLI Cohort

Tepeyac Leadership, Inc. is pleased to announce its 2024 TLI Cohort. Through its flagship civic leadership-development program, Tepeyac Leadership Initiative (TLI), our global apostolate will dedicate the next five months to forming, equipping and shaping the next generation of lay Catholic leaders for civil society. They represent a wide range of fields, including the corporate, nonprofit, education, health, finance, and legal arenas.

“A good look at what's happening in society today is all we need to understand the urgency of investing in the next generation of leaders for the world. This will be TLI's seventh generation, and our movement is only getting started,” said Cristofer Pereyra, CEO of Tepeyac Leadership.

The founder of TLI, the bishop emeritus of Phoenix, the Most Rev. Thomas Olmsted, has affirmed, “the true call of the laity, the authentic vocation of lay Catholic men and women, is to be ambassadors of Christ in the world, living among everyone else in secular society, while striving for holiness, sanctifying the world.”

Since 2018, TLI has gathered and invested in Catholic professionals to prepare them for a mission in leadership — through an encounter with truth, goodness, and beauty — in a one-of-a-kind leadership development experience. TLI continues to equip graduates to build a community in which people can flourish and the common good be advanced. TLI is leadership for the world.
