"Mayra brings over 15 years of experience working with our local communities and farmworker families. Her dedication and outreach will help Cabrillo continue our mission to support families with affordable housing."

"As a board member, I would like to contribute to outreach, so every family that needs a home is aware of Cabrillo EDC and all we can do to help support them. I also would like to help spread awareness with other community members, businesses, and surrounding counties, to inform them about Cabrillo EDC's mission and efforts, so we can continue providing the level of commitment, experience and professionalism we have. I want to continue with my strong commitment for serving my community."
