DAY
MARCH 10-12, 2021
9-11:30 AM DAILY
The 30th Annual Latina History Day Conference is an event that will unite Latinas from across the United States to celebrate our shared heritage, recognize our communities' resilience, and set us on a the path to build a better future.​Latina History Day was founded in Los Angeles, but in 2021 we're going virtual and expanding our reach to Latinas everywhere. The conference is specifically designed to meet the needs of Latina professionals; offering resources, skill development, and networking opportunities to advance their careers and enrich their lives. The conference, for which Latina History Day in California was created, draws approximately 1,000 women each year to celebrate the historic and current achievements of Latinas.
This year's theme - THE RESILIENCE OF HOPE - encourages us to reflect on the incredible resilience and leadership of Latinas during the past year, and to embark on a new chapter guided by hope and progress. Join us and get re-charged and resolved for an incredible 2021 with fellow Latina professionals and speakers who are leading the charge in their fields and creating positive change in their communities.

Women's Shelter Donations
Thank you to everyone who donated to the Delano shelter Alliance Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault.
Overall the shelter picked up 3 loads of donations. The community donated LOTS of amazing items!
Due to the high volume of donations we currently are not taking donations BUT the good news is the shelter has new storage and is getting it ready to take in more donations next month.
I will share details when donations will resume and what is the current families located at the shelter needs.
