Over the last 10 years, organizations have struggled to understand how to leverage community's power. Perhaps you have also encountered what a challenge it can be to prove your community's value and get the resources you need. Imagine finding a leader you could look up to who had been there and could guide you along this pathway. 

That leader is Jennifer Sable Lopez.
