LULAC CELEBRATES THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF WOMEN 365 DAYS A YEAR
===========================================================


Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Acknowledges the
Many Roles and Responsibilities They Shoulder As Leaders

Washington, DC - The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) says that
while March is observed as Women's Month, their role is critical year-round. They
deserve to be recognized for their many personal and professional attributes and
achievements.

"In a matter of just a few days, the LULAC National Women's Commission, sponsors,
and many stakeholders from throughout the country will gather in Los Angeles for
the 2023 Empowering Women Conference [ [link removed] ]
April 14-15," says Emma Lozano – LULAC National Vice-President for Women. "I am
extremely proud that LULAC recognizes the vital leadership role women have twelve
months a year across so many different walks of life. Today, more than ever,
women are stepping outside their family role and assuming the reins at the helm
in their communities and corporations in every field. They are no longer defined
solely by the vital responsibilities they shoulder within their families.
However, we will always value greatly the unique importance our culture places on
the matriarchs. I salute you, one and all, and am honored to serve with you," she
adds.

Throughout the history of LULAC since its founding in 1929, women have played a
prominent role in shaping the organization's local, state and national voice and
policies. In the earliest images in our archives, we see women engaged in LULAC
activities. Also, LULAC has elected women to its highest office as national
presidents, including Belen Robles, Rosa Rosales, and Margaret Moran. Similarly,
countless other women today are actively involved at all levels of the national
body. These include Elia Mendoza, Mari Corrugedo, Lupe Torres, Summer Gonzales,
Lydia Medrano, and Gloria Sasser. Their presence in the deliberations of critical
decisions and issues has a lasting impact on the current and future direction of
LULAC.

"Here in Washington, DC, I meet with our partners and supporters daily who
respect the ongoing importance of LULAC as an organization that values women,"
says Rafaela Schwan, LULAC Interim Chief Operating Officer, appointed by
President Domingo Garcia. "Indeed, never before in the history of LULAC have so
many women been appointed to leadership roles as we have seen under this
administration. We have Gloria Leal, the first Latina General Counsel in our 94
years, Delma Gorostieta, a Latina Dreamer leading as Vice-President for Young
Adults, Analuisa Tapia as a female Sergeant-at-Arms, Professors Angela Valenzuela
and Teresa Montaño as Co-Chairs of the LULAC Higher Education Committee, Caroline
Crozier, Innovation and Technology Committee, Hilda Duarte-Ramirez as National
Chaplain, and Lydia Guzman as LULAC Immigration Chair. To each and all, LULAC
says felicidades for all you do," adds Schwan.
