Announcement: Board Chair Transition

LIDERAMOS starts off the 2024 year with a heartfelt announcement and thank you to Carlos F. Orta who transitions off as our Board Chair. We are indebted to his steadfast leadership from 2019 to 2023 which guided our organization’s growth and maturation. As Carlos’ acknowledges,


“It has been an honor to work with a most committed group of leaders as we stewarded the vision of Dr. Juana Bordas over the last few years. We collectively moved the organization past COVID, hired our first executive director, who is doing a great job, increased funding, and held two wonderful annual symposiums. We accomplished much in a few short years, so please take time to celebrate our wins and the board’s steadfast commitment to the organization!”
