Connie has been the Treaurer of the Hudson League for a number of years. Born in Havana, Cuba, Connie moved to New York City as a teenager, and attended Queens College of the City University of New York, where she graduated with a degree in Accounting. She worked as a Media Planner at J Walter Thompson Advertising Agency in NYC and after marrying, moved to Hamburg, Germany, where her two children were born. After seven years in Hamburg, her family returned to NYC for two years, and then moved to Hudson, Ohio, where her children grew up and attended Hudson schools. She then attended Kent State for a Masters in Education and taught Spanish at Stow High School for 20 years.

Being involved in politics, locally and globally, has been a passion that she inherited from her parents!  She worked as an Advance Person for Senator James Buckley of New York during his election campaign. And with her mother, toured many schools and organizations on Long Island where they spoke about the history of Cuba, which was very prevalent in the news in those days.

Inspired by LWV  friends, she joined in 2016 to be involved in educating citizens on the importance of voting and actively participating in our democracy. She is forever grateful to this grand country that welcomed her and her family in the early 1960's and became their home.

Her most important achievement is being a proud grandmother of two grandchildren.
