TESTIMONIAL
“Reena is one of the most dynamic, committed, passionate, and hard-working people I have come across in my many years as a community and legislative advocate. For Causecast and L.A. Works, Reena managed marketing initiatives, promoted the value of corporate citizenship and developed employee volunteer programs in the nonprofit, civic and corporate sectors. It is in the volunteer and service sphere where I became acquainted with Reena and witnessed her excellent community building and marketing skills at play. From organizing Martin Luther King Jr. Day, to Cesar Chavez Day to the Mayor’s Day of Service, I have been impressed with her professionalism and contributions in making these large-scale events successful. Reena truly values the power of volunteerism and its role in fostering social change.” ~ Rafael Gonzalez, Former Chief Service Officer, Office of Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, City of Los Angeles
