A Conversation with Marta Moret

September 30, 2015

The Working Women’s Network and Yale Latino Networking Group present a conversation with Yale’s first lady Marta Moret ’84 MPH. Drawing on her personal experience and years of work in the nonprofit sector, Marta will discuss issues of women’s empowerment, access to leadership, and overcoming hurdles for women of color in the workforce.

This work has served as a model for community-academic partnerships in addressing public health issues facing underserved families and children.
