Rep. Moore Addresses National Latina Group at Annual Leadership Training

(Washington, DC)— Congresswoman Gwen Moore addressed members of MANA, a national organization of Latinas, at its annual leadership training held in Washington, D.C. last month. Eighty-five Latinas of all ages were present to participate in the D.C.-based organization's yearly training for MANA's professional Fellows, as well as its Hermanitas youth program. Congresswoman Moore, along with Congresswoman Grace Napolitano of California, spoke to the MANA members at a briefing about the issues they have worked on as Congresswomen that affect Latinas.

"I was so pleased to be able to speak to this promising group of women. MANA is so valuable because it focuses resources on fostering the development of our Latina youth and adolescents in communities across the nation," said Congresswoman Moore. "MANA's mentorship and leadership training empowers these young women to be positive forces within their own communities, while providing them with the understanding of how important it is for them to speak out and be politically active throughout their lives."
