Co-founder of Conexión Américas, Renata Soto will be honored as the club’s Woman of the Year at
its spring fund-raiser luncheon, Step Up: It’s a Charity Affair, on May 3rd
at the Brentwood Country Club.
Ms. Soto was named chairwoman of the National Council of La Raza in
2015, an organization founded in 1968, that represents nearly 300 affiliates, including community based organizations in 41
states, providing education, housing, workforce development and other services
to families across the country. As the first Central
American and Tennessean to fill the position of chairwoman and as co-founder of
Conexión Américas , a nonprofit organization dedicated to
helping Latino families realize their aspirations for social and economic
advancement via integration into the Middle Tennessee community, Ms. Soto is clearly representative of the “Unity in Diversity”
motto of GFWC.
For the past 6 years the club has chosen a non-member to honor for her
activities to better our greater community.
Prior honorees have been Linda Lynch, City of Brentwood Community
Relations Director; Joyce Keistler, Director of the Martin Center; Susan
Leathers, prior Editor and Co-Owner Brentwood Home Page,
Franklin Home Page and BrentWord Communications; Linda Jackson, Executive
Director of BRIDGES; Nancy Osman,
community volunteer and Director of Ty2 Foundation, and Jennifer Wolcott, community volunteer with
the American Red Cross (Natchez Trace Chapter) and the Oasis Center.
Tickets for the luncheon are $50 and can be obtained by contacting the
club treasurer Kathy Casey via email address:
