Then, Latinas in Computing Co-chairs <strong>Luza Jaramillo, Ruth Llanos-Vos<\/strong> and <strong>Mirkeya Capell\u00e1n<\/strong> presented updates to the community, including the launching of the new community website and logo, designed by LiC member <strong>Wendy Alem\u00e1n<\/strong>. The following<strong> Latinas in Computing Distinguished Members <\/strong>were recognized during this year&#8217;s event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Cecilia Arag\u00f3n (University of Washington) &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/latinasincomputing.org\/es\/2020\/09\/27\/cecilia-aragon-earns-the-presidential-early-career-award-pecase\/\" target=\"_blank\">learn more about Cecilia here<\/a><\/li><li>Bea Mendez Gandica (Microsoft, Nuevo Foundation) &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/latinasincomputing.org\/es\/2020\/09\/29\/bea-mendez-gandica-selected-as-aaas-if-then-ambassador\/\" target=\"_blank\">learn more about Bea here<\/a><\/li><li>Natalie Gil (Auna, Darshana) &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/latinasincomputing.org\/es\/2020\/09\/04\/natalie-gil-one-of-the-most-influential-hispanics-in-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learn more about Natalie here<\/a><\/li><li>Dr. Cindy Rubio Gonz\u00e1lez (University of California, Davis)<\/li><li>Dr. Natalia Villanueva Rosales (University of Texas at El Paso)<\/li><li>Claudia Galv\u00e1n (Technical Advisor Early Stage Innovation)<\/li><li>Pia Torres (Favaloro University Argentina)<\/li><li>Gracie Arenas Strittmatter (Electronic Arts)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, Guest Speaker <strong>Angela Mesa<\/strong>, Global Channel Operations Manager at Cisco Meraki shared her inspiring story of how she got to where she is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, using the Cisco Webex platform, attendees had the opportunity to network with each other using breakout rooms.  Room moderators guided the conversation using a fun and interactive trivia game about Latinas in STEM, powered by <strong>CrowdParty <\/strong><em>(you can play the Trivia Game using <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/crowdparty.app\/quick\" target=\"_blank\">this link<\/a>, select Featured Room Latinas in Stem!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it was a great session full of inspiring and emotional moments.  A big Thank You to the 25+ volunteers who participated in the event, to the Cisco and AnitaB.org teams for helping us coordinate this event, and to Justin from CrowdParty for setting up the trivia game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope to see you all at GHC21 in Chicago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
