Power & Possibilities 2009

Power & Possibilities 2009 featured Linda Alvarado, president and CEO of Alvarado Construction as a keynote speaker. Over 20 local women of color leaders facilitated discussions at the event.

Excellent speaker, she provided great insights that would help me professionally and personally!

The title of the event is so fitting; Power (an affirmation that we have it) and Possibilities (to know that anything can happen). I highly recommend this event to others.

What are you waiting for? You are right!!!

This event was inspiring - great energy and tools to go forward!!


This affirmed the importance of maintaining my identity when I'm a part of a larger society who sometimes does not understand cultural entities.

Hilarious and inspirational!

Great learning from Grandma's and college students.

My table talk encourages me to rethink my roles as mentor and as a mentee. I also realized that mentors are not only professors, staff, parents but also are our friends.

Thank you for letting us know that everyone with a passion has an opportunity to build a successful life. I'm defining success as the ability to give back to the community.

Set high goals and surround yourself with others who can help you get there.
