Join us in Hoversten Chapel today at 10:40 am to hear Irene Fernando, Hennepin County Board of Commissioners Chair speak about elections and civic engagement. Commissioner Fernando became the first Filipino American in Minnesota and youngest woman ever to win a seat on the Hennepin County Board in 2018. During that same election cycle, she and colleague Angela Conley conquered another obstacle by becoming the first women of color to win seats on the board since its inception over a century ago.
