Abstract
Elizabeth Cardona serves as the Director of the Office of the Governor Western Massachusetts Region in Springfield, Massachusetts. A passionate Puerto Rican woman building grassroots power in her community, Elizabeth is fulfilling career and community engagement goals while raising two sons. As a Women’s Pipeline for Change Research Fellow at UMass Boston’s Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy, Elizabeth conducted interviews to explore pathways to leadership for Latinas who are change agents, primarily in Western Massachusetts. Recognizing the significance of culture, identity, family, and community in her own personal journey, Elizabeth wanted to document and analyze key factors that helped Latina leaders find a voice and play a political role in their communities.
