It’s my great pleasure to address you for the first time in my new position as the Executive Director of Familias en Acción. I want to thank everyone for your warm welcome, Gail Brownmiller, Familias’ staff and Board for their support and help transitioning into this position. With their support and your participation, Familias has a bright future.
I am lucky to be joining a fantastic team and an inspiring community. I’m looking forward to building upon all of the incredible work that has helped create a powerful organization and movement. I recognize I have a lot to learn and I intend to invest time and attention to get to know and understand the Familias’ culture, and the issues and environment impacting our community.
I am delighted in the potential of Familias en Acción, and invite you to become an active member of Familias and our endeavors. Be our inspiration and help us change and shape new systems that help advance our community’s overall health. Together, we will get to explore new areas of focus, meet new people, and explore new challenges that can make a difference in the lives of all Latino families.
I stand with Familias and its commitment to developing resources designed to engage, educate, and help our community navigate a pathway toward equitable healthcare and access to live healthier lives in a prosperous community.
