Following a year of increased educational efforts through hands-on workshops, a team of three women from Spanish Coalition for Housing (SCH) were honored for their outstanding contributions in Education at the 8th Annual Mujeres Destacadas Awards and Luncheon. Together the team of women have continuously worked to increase access to Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) programs and services for thousands of families in diverse communities through these hands-on workshops. Mujeres Destacadas is an initiative in which Chicago Latinas are featured honored for their outstanding contributions in the fields of Arts & Culture, Business, Leadership, Education and Health. Typically, each category recognizes one individual for her accomplishments, but this year the Education category recognized a team of three exceptional women – Lydia Rodriguez, Karla Valadez and Mayra Camacho – for their success. Together, Rodriguez, Valadez and Camacho, educate the community through workshops in the Belmont-Cragin, Gage Park, East Side and Back of the Yards neighborhoods as part of CHA Community Alliance Diversity Outreach Initiative.
