Celebrating LA’s Latina Leaders 🌴✨

This Women's History Month, we're celebrating homegrown Latina excellence. As we prepare for the NALEO 43rd Annual Conference in Los Angeles, NALEO Educational Fund is proud to spotlight LA-rooted Latina leaders who have shaped our nation and redefined American leadership.

We honor the trailblazing legacies of:

  • The Honorable Lucille Roybal-Allard - The first Mexican American woman elected to Congress.

  • The Honorable Hilda Solis - LA County Supervisor and the first Latina to serve as a U.S. Cabinet Secretary.

  • The Honorable Rosario Marin - The first immigrant and Mexican-born woman to serve as U.S. Treasurer.

  • The Honorable Eunisses Hernandez - Los Angeles City Councilmember, District 1.

  • The Honorable Lourdes Castro Ramírez - President and CEO of Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA).

Their journeys do more than inspire us-they mirror NALEO's 50-year mission to expand representation and empower our community. Join us on social media all month long as we celebrate their impact and the bright future of Latina leadership.
