MALDEF strives to implement programs that are structured to bring Latinos into the mainstream of American political and socio-economic life; providing better educational opportunities; encouraging participation in all aspects of society; and offering a positive vision for the future. Unique to MALDEF is an approach that combines advocacy, educational outreach, and litigation strategies to achieve socio-economic change. MALDEF has achieved significant legal victories with the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, Plyler v. Doe. The Court struck down a Texas law that allowed districts to charge tuition to children of undocumented immigrant parents. MALDEF’s victory opened school doors to all students equally. In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court heard seven challenges to a Texas Congressional redistricting plan. Only MALDEF’s prevailed. The New York Times described it as “the most important voting rights case of the decade, rejecting the statewide gerrymandering claim brought by…other plaintiffs while accepting the Voting Rights Act challenge in Southwestern Texas, brought by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.” The case resulted in new lines drawn for the 23rd Congressional District and a special election (where a MALDEF suit opened the polls early) resulting in the Latino community having the opportunity to elect its candidate of choice to Congress. MALDEF is headed by a President and General Counsel and is governed by a 30-member national Board of Directors. Headquartered in Los Angeles, MALDEF operates four regional offices in Los Angeles, San Antonio, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. MALDEF strives to implement programs that are structured to bring Latinos into the mainstream of American political and socio-economic life; providing better educational opportunities; encouraging participation in all aspects of society; and offering a positive vision for the future.
I have over 32 years of nonprofit management experience and I know the roles and challenges of the nonprofit world. I don’t believe there are “problems” to handle, but rather there are “challenges” to overcome. I have been part of a national nonprofit organization level (Disabled Sports USA, a member organization of the U.S. Olympic Committee), the state level (Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake), as well as at the local nonprofit level (Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna, The Maryland Center for Arts & Technology as well as The Montessori School). This diversity of employment has provided a perspective that few have. At each agency, I have improved the areas for which I was responsible, brought in new supporters, established new systems to improve efficiency, and worked to strengthen existing systems that improved effectiveness. I have served in senior management for most of my career, providing each organization with my nonprofit leadership, nonprofit management, financial management, strategic planning and implementation, business planning, fund development, performance-based management, human resources and entrepreneurial leadership abilities. I have shown and proven my ability to put the needs of the clients and stakeholders first, create relationships with partners and funders, strong ethics and values in the missions of the agencies I have worked for, ability to lead growth while implementing new systems, and recruit and work with board members in a team environment.
