Every successful organization thrives on a strong foundation, and Latinos In Transit is no exception. At the California Transit Association’s Annual Conference, our Executive Director had the pleasure of connecting with some of LIT’s roots—former board members who helped shape our mission and vision. Their leadership and dedication laid the groundwork for the growth and success we celebrate today. Together, we honor the past while building an even brighter future for LIT!
