CWNY welcomes its new president, Cecilia Venosta-Wiygul
Cecilia has been a volunteer for the Center of the Women of New York since 2016. She is a Community, Legal, and Medical Spanish-English Interpreter and Translator from Argentina and she is currently a social studies student at the Harvard Extension School. Since Cecilia arrived in the United States in 2001, she has volunteered for several non-profit organizations advocating for children and women's rights. She is currently the president of her three daughters' elementary school PTA, educational district 26 representative at the NYC Chancellor’s Parent Advisory Council, an immigrant child advocate at the Young Center, a board member at the Douglaston Civic Association, a board member at the Udalls Cove Preservation Committee, and CWNY's former VP and Program Committee Chair.
Cecilia, together with CWNY Board of Directors and volunteers, is committed to continuing to advocate for women's rights and promote new programs and services to empower and help women reach their maximum potential in different aspects of their lives.
