A BIG WELCOME TO EVA AND NORMA
We’re excited to welcome two new members to our Board of Directors, each bringing deep alignment with LA Más’ mission and a long-standing commitment to community-rooted change.
Eva Chavez is a proud native of Boyle Heights and has called NELA home since 2019. As a founding volunteer of Somos NELA, she brings over a decade of expertise in research, evaluation and facilitation from her work with Los Angeles’ leading nonprofits. Eva’s work focuses on diversifying the philanthropic sector to be more inclusive of Black and Brown communities. We’re grateful for her ongoing commitment and grounded perspective.
Norma Rodriguez has expertise in community organizing and policy advocacy on various social justice issues including immigration, economic justice, worker rights and educational equity. Norma has shaped the field of community wealth building to include the initiatives that are part of our Community Economies program. We’re excited to have our work be part of a larger economic movement.
