Woman in leadership roles, it is our time!
The experience of being the first Latino woman ever elected as a member of City Council truly made me the woman I am today. It is a lot of hard work to get to where I am, and I can't wait to share my experiences with you. We will talk about growing your base, getting engaged with your community, and not allowing anyone or anything to stop you. Determination!
