One last shot Miguel.... When I firdt wrote in you replied to "M/M Tongariki" since then you have decided that I am indeed male - even though I have not in any way indicated my gender. As for the other stuff/outreach, working at a museum that cooperated with law-enforcement in the US/Mexico border area as a probation and community service site was a VERY effective way to do outreach. We always thanked those workers for their time and efforts (although they were sentenced to service work they may have been placed in another agency), we showed them how to write a resume, taught them basic office skills and etiquette, and encouraged them to see themselves as a part of the history we were working with. We wanted them to see themselves as connected and valuable. We encouraged them to finish school so they could shoot higher if they wanted to rise higher. Occasionally it worked and some didn't have trouble with the law after that. As for BOARD representation; it was only natural given the bi-national, bi-cultural mission statement that locally raised and recently migrated Anglo-Americans, Mexican Americans and Mexican nationals all served on the board in equal numbers. There were two languages in nearly every transaction. I did learn some Spanish on the job and I was a guest instructor at an English language school for adults across "the line".
