The board of trustees is the governing body for the organization and holds meetings five times a year. Garcia’s term on the board will run through December 31, 2012.

Catholic Charities has a long history of serving the poor and providing the basic necessities of life to Los Angeles residents. As an education attorney, working with Catholic Charities is a natural fit for Garcia.

“I wanted to be on the board of Catholic Charities because of the work they have done to support members of the Los Angeles community with programs such as youth employment, affordable before-and-after-school care and pre-school for low-income children,” said Garcia. “The organization has achieved enduring success because it focuses on making positive, long-term change. By presenting the community with the needed resource, Catholic Charities has helped many people transform their lives.”
