Anna Harper-Guerrero, LMSW, Executive Vice President & Chief Strategy Officer at Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse and Faculty Associate at the Arizona State University School of Social Work in Tucson.

Ariel Henderson, JD, associate with Waterfall, Economidis, Caldwell, Handsaw, and Villamana, P.C., with emphasis on employment law and civil litigation, previously with the Arizona Attorney General Office Civil Rights Division.

Stephanie Troutman, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Rhetoric, Composition and Teaching of English program in the English Department of the University of Arizona, as well as affiliate faculty member in UA Honors College, Gender & Women’s Studies, and the LGBT Institute.

Teresita M. Flores, JD, SPHR, owner of Options and Resolutions, offering human resources investigations, training, and compliance, with expertise in EEO/AA/ADA, policy development and change facilitation.

Nina Rabin, JD, Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Bacon Immigration Law and Policy Program at the James E. Rogers College of Law, University of Arizona, with expertise in issues of immigration enforcement on women and families, and domestic violence victims.

Attending the monthly luncheon at the YWCA this month? Please bring unopened packages of pads or tampons to donate to the YWCA’s Project Period. There is a collection box in the lobby of the YWCA. You may be thinking, “Hey AWLA – why is the YWCA collecting pads and tampons?” Well, they’re expensive. They’re not covered by food stamps. They’re taxed. Please help out people with periods who cannot afford to purchase them. For more information, click here.

Looking for an excuse to clean out your closet? We’ve got you covered. “Your Sister’s Closet” at the YWCA helps underprivileged women get interview and job ready. Bring your professional clothing to the luncheons (seriously, so easy – you’re already going to be there) and make a difference in our community. Don’t have any clothes you’re ready to part with (trust me, I get it)? Feel free to make a monetary donation. For more information, click here. Want to learn more about the YWCA and/or other ways you can get involved? Feel free to contact Jennifer Espino at Jennifer.Espino@tonation-nsn.gov.

There IS such a thing as a free lunch, at least for guests of current AWLA members!
