LSTA Advisory Councils and more...

I hope your Spring is springing.


I wanted to ask you all to consider volunteering to be on your state's LSTA Grant advisory boards.


I am currently the chair of the Oregon LSTA Advisory council.


My place on the council give me a voice that I can use to represent others who are not at the table.


There have been many times already where I was able to make an argument that would have not been made (concerning Latino issues) if I had not been there.



If we take our places on these and other committees that have a say in where money goes, then more Latino programming may get funded.


At the very least, we can represent where we are not represented already.


We can create change, we can lead from anywhere we are and we can help one another be strong.
