Hispanic Heritage Month Celebrating our Valuable Cultures and Contributions Through the Lens of Advocacy and Fundraising

September 9, 2022 @ 7:30 am - 9:00 am

The rich multi-culturalism of the Latino & Hispanic cultures has contributed immensely to our society. We will examine this cultural intersection to better foster philanthropy based on genuine relationship building & avoid the pitfalls of transactional philanthropy.

A first-generation Tucson native, Edna is fluently bilingual and bicultural. She received her B.A. from the University of Arizona and law degree from the Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law. Edna self identifies as BIPOC/Latinx and she is governed by the tenet that representation is crucial.
