Forward Thinker [Fawr-werd Thing-ker] -- noun: A member of your community who saw a need and is working to fill it. As the state of California grapples with increasing deficits, high unemployment, and other systemic issues, it has become unable to fill certain community needs. This is where Forward Thinkers come in -- people just like you and me who decided to step up and fill in where the state has fallen short, helping to improve their community, region, or state and inspiring others to do the same.

Latina entrepreneurs find mentorship and inspiration at Adelante event
California’s economy continues to struggle, but many believe the state’s burgeoning Latino population can help turn the state around and improve both the economic climate and governance challenges the state faces. On Saturday, December 3, a major event was held in Santa Monica to give Latina women the tools to help make change. Hundreds of women came out for the Coca-Cola Adelante Latina Empowerment Tour, which focuses on informing, mentoring, and inspiring Latinas.
