“We are excited about the new Miss Borinquen Queen and Princess and look forward to them working within the community over the next year”, said Dinorah Santos, Chair of the Miss Borinquen Latina Committee. “The entire class should be congratulated because each of the girls made it through the rigorous program and put their best efforts into it.” The program includes a challenging curriculum provided to help build well rounded role models for our community, prepare them to take on leadership roles and prepare them to be successful in their educational accomplishments, careers and life. The leadership development program series began in April and focused on developing personal, social, educational and economic development skills, and other issues vital to their long-term success. They heard from professionals in the private sector, business development specialists, entrepreneurs, nonprofit professionals, college professors, community activists, government executives, and local elected officials.
