Being a member of the Latino Leadership Network has been a wonderful experience for me. After moving to Washington from California, I joined our LLN to preserve a connection to my culture, but I gained so much more than that. Through this supportive BRG, I have been welcomed to join the Board as our Events & Conferences committee lead, engage in my passion for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and contribute to our collective professional growth goals.
When I was notified I had been nominated for Co-Chair, I happily accepted. I see this as an opportunity to expand on the tremendous growth our current leaders have cultivated and to do even more for LLN as we head toward the horizon of what comes next for us. It is an incredible honor to be the LLN Co-Chair and you can count on me to continue looking for ways to enhance our LLN experience. Please reach out if you have suggestions for content you would like to see us provide in the future.
