Dr. Otazo
(Hofmeister) has taken an active role in non-profit, ngo,
organizations globally and locally. She has been focusing on
empowering women through leadership work with Vital Voices and a
project to create a simple, open-source template to start a
business. Women exemplify a majority of the traits associated
with effective leadership and entrepreneurship yet all too
frequently do not know how to put their skills to work. Since
women and people of color are a huge source of the new entrants
into small business development worldwide, Karen is working
Neighborhood Centers in Houston to create an online publication
in Spanish which can then be used for Latino-American women. Her
hope is that if the approach proves useful that the publication
can be translated into other languages with appendices for the
specifics in each locale. |
