Bien Hecho: Catherine Pino’s Efforts For LGBT Latinos

The National Council of La Raza recently was set to honor Catherine Pino, who has been working towards social justice for Latinos and the LGBT community for years. My Latino Voice reported:

Pino is the Co-Founder and Principal at D&P Creative Strategies who, along with her partner Ingrid Duran, works to advance social justice and civil rights issues through corporate, philanthropic, and legislative efforts.

In addition to her role at NCLR, Pino has served the LGBT community through her advocacy as a board member for such groups as the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) and The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). She is currently serving as a board Member of the ARCUS, the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), and the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). Catherine was the first Latina co-chair and board member of the Hetrick-Martin Institute in New York City.
