The work of the National Alliance for Hispanic Families is being recognized through the Red Dress Society’s Angel award, given to individuals behind important social causes. This award is intended to help build awareness for the work, mission and accomplishments of the organization each winner represents. The first Angel award will be selected from a group of 23 individuals working in and around San Antonio, Texas, including Dr. Lorena Gonzalez, director of NAHF. Over the next year, Angel awards will be shared monthly in different cities throughout the country.
“The family is the foundation for a healthy start in life.” Dr. Gonzalez said. “Our work at NAHF will result in healthier families, communities, and ultimately a healthier country. We are taking the lead in setting a national agenda supporting policy, research, and programming.”
The winner of the 2009 award will be announced at a ceremony on December 14th in San Antonio. To vote for Lorena and share a comment about her leadership and cause, visit:
