Local Attorney selected to participate in Women's Campaign School at Yale University

Local attorney, Rosie Gonzalez, has been selected to participate in the Women's Campaign School at Yale University, July 18-22, 2007. The Women's Campaign School at Yale prepares women to seek careers in elective office, to seek executive appointment, or serve as a senior level staff.

The goal of the school is to prepare successful political women in transforming governance through their talents and abilities and provides the best preparation for a new century and new generation of women in leadership.

Up to fifty women from across the country are selected to participate in this exclusive and fast-paced training every year. The Women's Campaign School (WCS) at Yale University is a non-partisan, non-issues based political training program for women candidates and campaign staff, women already holding elective office, or in political jobs who want to take the next step. WCS Yale is one of the few places left on earth where women from across the U.S. and beyond, regardless of political views can gather to become completely immersed in the political leadership process.

Rosie Gonzalez is a native of Brownsville, Texas, and the daughter of Alicia Gonzalez of Brownsville. She graduated from Homer Hanna High School in Brownsville in 1983. She earned her B.A. in Political Science from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, in 1987, and her J.D. from St. Mary's University School of Law in 2001.

She is the President of the Mexican American Bar Association of Texas. She sits on the Jury Service and Racial Diversity in the Profession Committees of the State Bar of Texas, and is the Chair-Elect of the Hispanic Issues Section of the State Bar of Texas. She also sits on the State Board of Equality Texas, and holds a number of board positions on local non-profit boards of directors in San Antonio, Texas.
