Christina Perez is not able to attend the Latino Leadership Symposium due to unforeseen circumstances. The keynote address will be delivered by Patti Solis Doyle who served as campaign manager for Hillary Clinton for President.
Doyle will lecture at the Law College on the fight for social justice. The event is open to the public as part of the Diversity Leadership Symposium Higher Education Series.
As campaign manager for Hillary Clinton for President, Patti Solis Doyle was the first Hispanic woman to lead a presidential effort in the United States – working hard in a business where it is rare for females to lead major campaigns, and where minorities in key positions are even harder to find.
A long-time advisor to Senator Clinton, Solis Doyle previously served as Executive Director of HILLPAC and Friends of Hillary, the Senator’s political action committee and Senate re-election campaign. As Executive Director, Solis Doyle managed the public relations strategy, fundraising, corporate and organization outreach, and campaign staffing for the organizations, which together represented one of the largest and most successful Democratic fund raising operations in the U.S.
Prior to establishing HILLPAC, Solis Doyle served in the White House as an Assistant to the President and as Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady. In this capacity, she worked to promote Clinton administration policies on children, health care and women’s issues, and to assist with political support for Democratic candidates nationwide. She also managed the execution of Senator Clinton’s overseas travel, selecting and coordinating events to further the US diplomatic and foreign policy goals.
