COLÓN, NEBRASKA – Karina Perez, of Columbus, Nebraska, has been appointed to the Center for Rural Affairs Board of Directors.
El Centro de Asuntos Rurales es una organización privada sin fines de lucro que trabaja para fortalecer las pequeñas empresas, las granjas y ranchos familiares y las comunidades rurales a través de programas orientados a la acción que abordan problemas sociales, económicos y ambientales.
“Karina is passionate about a thriving rural America and helping new immigrants become full participants in their communities,” said Brian Depew, executive director of the Center for Rural Affairs. “We look forward to her experience and knowledge on our Board of Directors.”
“I wanted to get involved because the Center's work aligns with my personal life,” Perez said. “The organization advocates for those who are underserved and underrepresented in rural Nebraska communities.”
She has served as the executive director of Centro Hispano for the past four years, collaborating with the Center on several projects. Both nonprofits share similar objectives, fostering inclusion in communities.
“Para mí, la misión del Centro significa que nuestras comunidades rurales están avanzando; tomando la iniciativa, con la orientación del Centro, sobre los valores que más significan para ellos ”, dijo. “Espero que el Centro continúe floreciendo y continúe adaptándose a nuestras necesidades siempre cambiantes para nuestras comunidades rurales. Espero colaborar y ayudar a impulsar la misión del Centro en la zona rural de Nebraska ”.
Perez is serving a three-year term on the Center for Rural Affairs Board of Directors.
