“Dear Ms. Martinez-Penalver:
Thank you for the partnership and opportunity provided to our Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) members to accompany you and the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce to the annual Legislative Fly-In in October 2019. The YAC members enjoyed learning about your dedication and extensive work in the field of mental health. Thank you for taking the time to arrange meetings and invite the students to accompany you. These experiences have led to great conversations about the youth’s part in mental health education. In fact, a few of the YAC members have since decided to explore a career in policy and lobbying.
The YAC members remain committed to raising awareness around mental health education for their 2020 service-learning initiative. We look forward to continuing our partnership with you in this effort.”
James R. Haj
President and CEO
