A few months ago, I was lucky to attend the National Hispanic Leadership Conference<\/a> (NHLI)titled “The Latina Mosaic: Strength In Diversity”. <\/em>One of the keynote speakers was Marisa Rivera-Albert. She is president of Mpowerment Works<\/a> , a woman that, you will agree, after reading her bio is a true global change agent for women’s empowerment. She is a woman that speaks with a leadership style of power, wisdom and humbleness. \u00a0From my observation, she is a true giver.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Prior to starting Mpowerment Works, Marisa served as president of \u00a0NHLI for ten years and during that time, the institute experienced tremendous growth to become the<\/em> <\/strong>premier leadership organization for Latinas in the country.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Reading her\u00a0Biography <\/a> is like reading a who’s who of a true leader, the kind of leader that is a change agent for the world. \u00a0Some highlights of her work prior to leading NHLI \u00a0include:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Special Assistant to the President for Diversity<\/li>\n
  • Community Relations at Black Hawk College in Illinois.<\/li>\n
  • Seven years at\u00a0Western Illinois University managing the Hispanic Program for Educational Advancement and\u00a0the Learning To Lead Program for Hispanic students.<\/li>\n
  • Several assignments overseas, including working for the U.S.\u00a0Information Agency and the U.S. Embassy in Panama and living in Tegucigalpa, Honduras for two years.<\/li>\n
  • Served as an International elections observer in Honduras and an invited\u00a0U.S. State Department Speaker in Argentina and Peru.<\/li>\n
  • Speaker on\u00a0Women Empowerment with women in La Paz, Bolivia and Guadalajara, Mexico.<\/li>\n
  • Participation in a fellowship to Israel with AJC and Project interchange.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    After being totally inspired and awestruck by her energy and wisdom during her keynote speech, I knew I had to meet her. So thank you Marisa for taking the time for this interview so I can share your mission of empowering women from the heart and being a positive mentor for many women. \u00a0There are many leadership styles in this world, and this is one I would like to embody. I love what she says at the end, \u00a0“Keep shining the inside, so the outside can sparkle<\/em>.” Beautiful!<\/p>\n

    Please share with us what you think are some great leadership styles and qualities in men and women. And thank you again, Marisa, for inspiring ME!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
