Prior to that, Pasquil Rogers served as Appointments Secretary in the Office of Governors Gavin Newsom and Edmund G. Brown Jr. where she was responsible for helping the Governor build his administration by recruiting top candidates to serve the state.

Prior to her appointment, Pasquil Rogers served as Chief of Staff to California Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi and Acting Lieutenant Governor, after Garamendi was elected to Congress. This marked the first time a woman, Asian Pacific Islander or Filipino-American served in this role.

Her awards include a Presidential Citation to commemorate her service as the first Filipino-American lieutenant governor of California from former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Mona is most proud of her work mentoring California’s youth Mona Pasquil Rogers to become more active in their communities. This work includes founding the Asian Pacific California Public Policy, Facebook Youth Leadership Project of California, an organization dedicated to boosting Asian and Pacific Islander youth involvement in California policy. Mona continues her commitment to mentorship and serves as the president of California Women Lead and the California Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus Institute. AUGUST 3 | VIRTUAL CONVERSATION WOMEN LED: THE POWER OF MENTORSHIP PANELIST Margita Thompson is currently Vice President of Public Affairs for California Resources Corporation (CRC), the state’s largest independent oil and natural gas producer. Margita focuses on driving unexpected community engagement that translates to increased stakeholder credibility and business impact. Margita is especially skilled at listening and anticipating trends to uncover the common thread that can unite diverse stakeholders toward a common goal.

Before CRC, Thompson was Vice President, External Communications for Disney Consumer Products (DCP) leading PR teams spanning Disney Publishing, The Disney Stores, and DCP Licensing - the world’s largest licensor. While at Disney, Thompson brought diverse women’s voices inside DCP to maintain the relevance of the “princess” franchise in the market. Prior, she was Vice President for Corporate Communications and Latino Programs Officer at Health Net Inc. During her time there, she increased Latino health plan membership through a multi-generational, whole-household strategy.

Before working in the private sector, Margita served in government and the media. She was Press Secretary for California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. In that role, she managed a global media onslaught that was the equivalent of a startup for the then sixth-largest economy in the world. Prior to joining the Schwarzenegger administration, Margita served as Political Producer for CNN’s then highest-rated show, Larry King Live. Before CNN, Margita worked at the White House in the Office of the Vice President as Press Secretary to Mrs. Lynne Cheney and served as California Press Secretary of Bush for President during the 2000 election.

In 2010, Margita received an Emmy as a political analyst with the KCAL/CBS team, for election night coverage. She was awarded the Stuart Margita Thompson Spencer Visionary Award in 2019 from the Latino Leadership & Policy Foundation. Additionally, her leadership of Health Net’s Latino Vice President of Public Affairs, Initiative was profiled in Hispanic Executive. She is currently a fellow at USC’s Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics and on the Board of California Resources Corporation Directors for CORO Southern California, the California Latino Economic Institute, and The LAGRANT Foundation.

Margita grew up as an only child, with half of her family in San Diego and the other half in Tijuana - she crossed the border at least once a week until she left for UC Berkeley, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. She then went on to complete a Master of Public Policy at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, where she was named the Parker Montgomery Fellow for

distinguished leadership in California.

When she is not working, Margita can be found deep in a historical fiction novel, spending time with her two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels – Carlie and Mr. Darcy, learning more about football (a new interest), or sharing a laugh with friends over Zoom. FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA

Without a Heart, it’s just a machine.

So in 1971, a little Heart built a different kind of airline—one that made sure everyone could fly.

Everyone has important places to go. So we invented low-fares to help them get there.

Here, we think everyone deserves to feel special, no matter where you sit or how much you fly.

And with all the places we’re going next, we’ll always put you first, because our love of People is still our most powerful fuel.

Some say we do things differently. We say, why would we do things any other way?

Without a Heart, it’s just a machine.
