Delia has served on community boards in leadership positions and is proud of the changes and policy directives that she brought through those positions. What she is most proud of is the time she has spent working with groups, individuals, and organizations impacting the lives of people directly… the lives of people in the Lewisville community.
“Being ‘of service’ means volunteering my leadership, developing training, and programs, and providing advocacy in support of others, especially the less-advantaged. I believe people simply need resources and opportunities that enable them to uplift themselves.”
