Leadership Award,” expressed Maldonado. “The
Latina Golfers Association (LGA) owes so much of its
initial success to the LATINA Style Business
Series. Just after our launch in 2008, I was given an
opportunity to share the benefits of leveraging golf as
a business tool with the attendees. This appearance
validated the LGA and our efforts to empower
women through golf. LATINA Style’s continued
support has provided me with resources and
encouragement to forge ahead, continue to grow
and share our mission with countless women. I am
grateful and humbled by this recognition and look
forward to many more years of collaboration." Want to comment or have any questions on
