Event Description:
Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) will celebrate Women’s History Month with a presentation from María Montero, women’s advocate and former executive director of the Pennsylvania Commission for Women, at 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 1, in the Alumni Center, Rothrock Library, at the college’s Schnecksville campus. The presentation is free of charge. Montero will address “The Gender Pay Gap: Trust and Fiction in Gaining Equity,” and will encourage discussion from the audience. Montero is a first generation American, born and raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of Marian Catholic High School, St. Joseph’s University, and Widener University School of Law with a concentration in law and government. Along with raising her family and managing the family bi-lingual newspaper business El Torero, she has managed and co-founded area businesses and initiatives providing opportunities for women to reach their business and personal goals, as well as seeking to share American culture, history and English proficiency with the valley’s many newcomers through a column named Aprenda Con Maria (Learn with Maria). In addition to serving on numerous committees and boards in the Lehigh Valley, Montero was honored with Impacto’s Delaware Valley’s Most Influential Latino Award, received the Emerging Latino Leader Award from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of the Lehigh Valley, Women of the Year by El Comité de Damas Peruanas, selected as the nationwide Alumni Volunteer for St. Joseph’s University, earned a Pepper Pot Award from the Public Relations Society of America, and most recently was honored with an International Davey Gold Medal distinction. Montero currently serves as the chairwoman of the Board of Directors for the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation, on the APM Board (Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha), a non-profit based in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia Hospitality Inc. She is a trustee for DeSales University, a member of St. Joseph’s University Development Advisory Board, and SJU’s Women’s Leadership Network as fundraising chair. Montero’s service milestones, passion for women’s leadership, and commitment to the Latino-Hispanic community led to an executive appointment in the Commonwealth to serve as the executive director for the Pennsylvania Commission for Women and thereafter as the executive director of the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs (GACLA). Montero now serves as the external affairs manager for the Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority, one of the Commonwealth’s key economic engines, where she develops strategic communications and outreach strategies to help strengthen and support hospitality and tourism in the Commonwealth.
