Our Founding E.D. Retires
Visiones Collaborativas/Collaborative Visions Executive Director Anita LaRan has marked her retirement from day-to-day operations. Anita has been ED since our founding in 2010 and has been a quiet but implacable force for beneficial community development.
Thankfully, Anita plans to remain with VC/CV, moving into a role on our board of directors where she can guide and mentor our staff as we reach for our next milestones.
Another Milestone in Her 38-year Community Service Career
The list of projects Anita has worked on since 1987 reveals her impact on Mora. She’s helped build coops https://visionescollaborativas.org/co-operatives/
She’s worked with the watersheds and community health https://visionescollaborativas.org/healthy-events-and-water-shed/
And Anita worked tirelessly, offering support to fire evacuees and their families during the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fire and leading in local recovery efforts https://visionescollaborativas.org/plaza-nueva-project/
And the list goes on. We’ll be celebrating many of her achievements here over the next few months. Please keep an eye out.
Julia Rogers Takes the Helm
Mora native Julia Rogers steps into the Executive Director role here. Julia started at VC/CV in April of 2024, as Assistant Executive Director. For the past year, she has trained with Anita in anticipation of this day. Many of you may know her from her work with the Mora Water Alliance, the Mora Plaza Nueva Project, Mora County EDC, or her work on the board of the Mora Valley Health Clinic.
