Information Session at Google in Mountain View, March 20, 2015
Said Maureen, “For two years I’ve wanted to have an FEMBA Info Session at Google, and it finally happened last night! It was fantastic. A lot of the attendees work at Google naturally, but we also had people from Tesla, SAP, ITC, Merrill Lynch, Ericsson, Lockheed, Expedia, HP, and CTS there…The woman who works at Tesla said it was the best info session that she has been to because it was not boring and because everyone was very open.”  Here is Maureen, getting ready for the evening.

HOPE Latina History Day Conference March 13, 2015
Christy Marquez and Christina Marentes on our team attended this very successful conference. Wrote Christy, “…was a day full of successful and inspiring Latina guest speakers and a leadership workshop.  Guest speakers included a NASA scientist, politicians and executives, and the leadership workshop was run by a psychologist and entrepreneur who is one of Al Osborne’s mentees.”
