NLC is about investing in people. We’re going to take your talents and your skills and elevate YOU. Build your network. Lift your voice. Help you do what you want to do to build your community. That’s important to me and important for South Texas.
When I look at our communities I see our children’s future. We have the potential to make this an environment for the next generation of progresive leaders. We have resources that go unheard and untapped. NLC has given me the insight, tools, and network I need to help build a brighter future.
NLC has given me the courage, strength, and community I needed to continue fighting for my beloved Laredo. The toolks that NLC equipped me with have given me enough resolve to keep fighting inequities and to take the scary opportunities coming my way.
