Meet our new Executive Director, Shawn Gerth! ✨
Shawn, originally from Washington State, studied at Duke University and earned her Master’s in History at Stanford, focusing on comparative race, ethnicity, and 20th-century social justice movements. After realizing her passion for current equity issues, she transitioned to education and has worked in East San José since 1999. She has led initiatives to increase caregiver participation in programs like early childhood climate justice and outdoor education.

💡 Presta atención...
Estaremos compartiendo información sobre *presupuestos y 9Rs*. Sí, lo leíste bien. *¿Finanzas y medio ambiente juntos?* Qué combinación, ¿cierto? 🤯 *¡Es como mezclar dinero con hojas verdes!* 🌱💵
Y por si fuera poco, el título del curso es: *"Liderazgo Sostenible en la Mujer."* ¿Sostenible y finanzas? *¡Qué contradicción! * 🤔
Pero no te preocupes, te prometemos que si te atreves a venir, tendrás que poner a prueba tu creatividad.💡
*¿Te mides? *¡Nos encantaría verte allí!* *Será presencial.*
