SFLHCC President Liliam M. Lopez Received the Mujeres que Transforman Florida Award
 |  |
We are proud to announce that our President, Liliam M. Lopez, received the prestigious Mujeres que Transforman Florida Award! This special award ceremony, organized by Interactive Community Alliance, Inc. (ICA), is dedicated to recognizing exceptional Latinas whose leadership, dedication, and resilience are making a real impact across Florida’s communities, productive sectors, and social causes.
The event is part of ICA’s commitment to highlight the invaluable contributions of Hispanic women who are shaping the future of our state. Special thanks to Elena Dolinski, visionary founder of this initiative, for her three decades of work as a philanthropist and leader recognized by the White House for empowering communities and inspiring new generations of women.
The day became even more memorable when Lily’s daughter, Lillian K. Sanchez, surprised her by presenting the award. Congratulations, Lily, on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you to Elena Dolinski for organizing such a beautiful celebration of Latina leadership!

Our very own President, Liliam M. López, in her role as Media Spokesperson for Florida Prepaid, was interviewed to share her expertise on the importance of college savings and its impact on our local workforce and community.
