Drumroll please! We’re so excited to welcome Sonia to the team as our new Civic Engagement Manager! Sonia is already bringing her creativity, passion, and advocacy to the team, and she is excited to engage with everyone in our community.
Born and raised in Sonoma County, Sonia is the newest addition to the Generation Housing team, bringing her experience, connections, and passion for positive change.
During her 27-year career in wine industry management, Sonia honed her skills in relationship building, leadership, and collaboration. Motivated by a deep-rooted desire to make a meaningful impact, she transitioned into the nonprofit sector, using her talents to support disadvantaged communities. Prior to joining Generation Housing, Sonia supported at-risk youth through corporate partnerships and fundraising events at Social Advocates for Youth.
Sonia enjoys being active in her local community and has served on many boards, including the Russian River Wine Road, Sebastopol Chamber of Commerce, Russian River Winegrowers, and the Sonoma County Hospitality Association. Sonia currently serves on the Sonoma County Tourism Community Engagement Committee and the Roseland Library Steering Committee.
Armed with natural enthusiasm and dedication to making a difference, Sonia is ready to use her passion to support expanding housing opportunities throughout Sonoma County.
“Affordable housing is the foundation of an inclusive community; helping create a stable environment for our children to grow and for local businesses to flourish. I look forward to meeting our Gen H supporters and working together to build a Sonoma County where everyone can thrive.”
