Salt Lake City, Ut (PRWEB) August 19, 2012

Juana Bordas will offer a keynote address and book signing at Salt Lake Community College on August 29, 2012. Her presentation is free and open to the public, and will take place from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. at the College’s Taylorsville Redwood Campus in the Student Center’s Oak Room. Salt Lake Community College is Utah’s most diverse higher education institution.

“Juana is one of the most inspiring leaders we have today,” said SLCC Multicultural Initiatives coordinator Ana Archuleta. “She has done an excellent job in describing ethnic leadership and explains the importance of integrating these talents into organizations and using the ‘We’ perspective in public policy.”

In addition to her address, Bordas will be signing copies of her book 'Salsa, Soul, and Spirit'. The book discusses how incorporating Latino, African-American, and American Indian approaches has the potential to strengthen leadership practice and inspire today's ethnically rich workforce.

She is a founder of Mi Casa Women's Center and served as executive director. Today, Mi Casa is recognized as a national model for women's empowerment.
