Please join our celebration and welcome our new presidenta, Maria Vega from Broward County.

The official presidential gavel was passed to our new presidenta by the past president, Mari Martinez Serrano at the Conference on Children’s Literature on Friday, September 22, 2023. During the conference, REFORMA de FL hosted an information table and gave away books to new members. Also, the chapter’s past and incoming presidents and longtime Reformista and award-winning author, Lucia M. Gonzalez led a Q&A with Florida Latina Authors Vanessa Garcia, Chantel Acevedo, and Jenny Torres Sanchez. During this celebration of Latino heritage and literature, panelists discussed REFORMA and the importance of representation in youth books and media. The Q&A concluded with a Broward County Library and REFORMA de FL sponsored book raffle!

We can’t wait for our next membership event at the Miami Book Fair! Save the date. More details coming soon.
