Director of Latino Bike and Bus Tour of New Jersey
New Jersey Secretary of State
I was hand picked by New Jersey Secretary of State, to coordinate over 15 cities to participate in the only state wide celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. A seven day tour of the state that began in the North and climaxed in the South. Over 50 volunteers rode bikes, and bus. Mayors of cities with high Latino population coordinated events for the days the Bike and Bus tour stopped at their city.
