Andrea Salazar from The Whole Child acknowledged as a Legendary Woman Ford

Andrea Salazar, Director of Relations with Donors at The Whole Child, is responsible for the development of programs to cultivate and summon donors for the agency. Thanks to her commitment with the organization and her experience in the field of fundraising for non-profit organizations, she was acknowledged by Ford in the fourth edition of Legendary Women.”Being selected is such as honor, especially being amongst so many other amazing, strong and intelligent women. I was the first in my family to graduate from college and so any accolade I receive has meant so much to me and my family. I tell the younger generation, it doesn’t matter where you come from it’s about where you’re going and your journey. I was raised with humble beginnings and this award makes me believe anything is possible! I have a 10 year old daughter and this award allows me to be a great role model for her” Salazar told PRODU.She feels that one of the Ford pillars she identifies with is intelligence. “Not in the sense of my intelligence but in the sense of surrounding yourself with intelligent people. As I mentioned I was the first in my family to graduate from college. My family couldn’t afford to pay for my college tuition but they supported me with love and encouragement. I always see education as a gift, and I strive to continue educating myself, through seminars, conferences, and networking with intelligent individuals.”
