LULAC Welcomes Jill Biden To Virtual

Summit
Nation’s Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization to Host
Former 2nd Lady and Education Champion
Washington, DC - The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) today announced that former Second
Lady Jill Biden, a 30-year public schools educator and champion for education equity will join LULAC’s
2020 Virtual Summit, “All for One & One for All: United in Action to Transform America”.
“This is one of the most important times in America for Latinos and to have the wife of a former Vice-President who
is now candidate for the presidency join us shows the impact LULAC is making,” says Domingo Garcia, LULAC
National President. “Biden has also made her own mark because of her commitment to public education.
Even when she was our country’s Second Lady, she kept teaching as she has for thirty years. I am the son of
immigrant parents whose life was changed through education and people like Biden who mentored me along the
way. We welcome her because she inspires thousands of other teachers facing very tough decisions during
COVID-19,” he adds.
LULAC is celebrating the 2020 Virtual Summit instead of its annual national convention and expo out of an
abundance of caution during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year's summit includes a wide range of panel
discussions, presentations and training around such topics as civil rights and equity, health and wellness,
immigration, financial literacy, democracy in action, veterans affairs, technology, environment, LGBTQ+, Puerto
Rico, education and elections.
“Dr. Biden’s story inspires many of us ” says Sindy Benavides, National Chief Executive Officer. “Here is a
woman who after marrying Joe Biden, stepped away from her job teaching English to raise her family. Later, she
returned to school, earned her Ph.D. in education and went back to teaching English, this time at Northern Virginia
Community College (NVCC). Her passion for education kept her teaching even as she served as our nation’s
Second Lady. LULAC applauds role models who through their example, motivate all of us to reach our highest
potential. Biden is one of those standouts,” she added.
