[Norma (she/hers)]

Hi!
My name is Norma Lopez – pronouns she/her/hers. Currently, I am the Executive Director for the County of Orange Human Relations Commission. I am particularly interested in the issues of representation in government, effective practices to eliminate race-based hate within the context of restorative justice, and dismantling white supremacy on an individual, community, and systemic levels.

Random fact – I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer who lived in Panama from 2004-2006.
