  • LEAD Summit IX Program Vfinal.Indd
    LEAD SUMMIT IX ¡VIVA LA MUJER! Thursday, Santos Manuel Student Union California State University, March 29, 2018 San Bernardino 8AM - 3PM 909.537.7632 leadsummit.csusb.edu 2018 LEAD Summit | ¡VIVA LA MUJER! 1 Welcome! ¡BIENVENIDOS! Dear Friends and Colleagues, Welcome to our ninth annual Latino Education and Advocacy Days Summit, and LEAD Week 2018. Our inaugural Latino Education and Advocacy Day at Cal State San Bernardino was a historical success in bringing needed atten- tion and discussion to critical issues in Latino education. As a direct result, the State of California had declared the last week of March as a statewide Week of Advocacy for Latino Education. Our LEAD network promotes “Working Together” – allowing participants to connect with each other and relevant leaders and advocates such as yourselves, to address how we can improve the educational access, learning outcomes, offerings, and resources for our communities, both here and abroad. “Netroots” is one way to describe our methods of awareness-raising, education, promotion, advocacy, activism, analysis, discussion, critique, dissemination, and commitment to the educational issues that impact Latinos. The word is a combination of “internet and grassroots” reflect- ing the technological innovations, participatory democracy, and cam- paign-oriented activities that set our techniques apart from other forms of education and advocacy. Our theme this year is ¡VIVA LA MUJER!, as although our communities’ and nation’s strengths continue to depend, to a large extent, on the positive educational outcomes of Latino students (in general), it is the educational attainment of Latinas (the female students in particular), that is essential to our well-being and success.
