Board of Directors

Our organization was founded by and for the target population it sought to serve: low-income, Mexican women workers, primarily Spanish-speakers, who worked in the garment industry. Thirty-one years later, our entire board is composed of women, most of whom are former garment workers, and who primarily speak Spanish. Our board meets quarterly. La Mujer Obrera staff brief the Board of Directors on all on-going activities and obtain their feedback and support on any future plans for the organization.
