Natalia
Fernandez, Director of Admissions Graduate and Professional Studies,
Manhattanville College
Shortly
after Natalia Fernandez was promoted to her new position in the Fall of
2006, she knew that membership in a business membership organization was
important to enhancing her career and getting exposure for Manhattanville
College.
The
first place she turned to was The Westchester County Association. "I had heard
about The WCA's reputation for advocating and getting results." It didn't
take long for her to see this reputation in action, specifically the
landmark healthcare and property tax reform initiatives. Attending events
like CONNECTIONS Lunch & Learn programs and the Breakfast with the
County
Executive enhanced
her understadning of what's happening in the business
community.
A
recent addition to the Young Professionals Advisory Committee (YPAC), Ms.
Fernandez is looking forward to working with her peers on issues relevant
to their group such as accessible
housing.
Ms.
Fernandez attended Manhattanville College, where she earned a B.A. and is
pursuing a Master's Degree in Educational Studies. It's also where she and
her husband, Victor, and two children live. She and her family are now
looking for accessible housing.
