Executive Director Hidalgo shares, “Throughout my 25 years of professional trajectory in the nonprofit and public sector, I have experienced the ripple effect and benefits our communities experience when we empower and support women. As a society, there is still much to do to level the playing field. As the first Latina to hold this role, I am honored to join Legislators, Chairwoman Denella Clark, and a group of amazing commissioners who share my passion to advance women and girls to full equity.”
