Message from Board Chair, Beatriz Leyva-Cutler
Representing the Chicana Latina Foundation as Board Chair has to be one of the positions in that I am not only proud to hold, but also humbled and challenged by. I ask myself, how is it possible that the daughter of a laundry worker and a welder whose own education together did not equal the 9th grade hold such an esteemed position as Chair of the Chicana Latina Foundation?
Message from Executive Director, Olga Talamante
The mission of the Chicana/Latina Foundation, to empower Latinas through personal professional and educational advancement, resonates ever more loudly after 29 years, especially as we see the demographic explosion of Latinas in K-12, in small businesses and in every sector in society. I am so proud and humbled to work with a visionary board and a wide circle of community partners and supporters. I am pleased to share with you some of the highlights from 2005.
