Welcoming America Executive Director David Lubell recently was named one of Univision’s top ten social entrepreneurs in the Americas.
Univision recognizes talented leaders who create social value by seeking sustainable solutions through innovative approaches to environmental problems, poverty, and inequalities such as access to health care, education and public services and protecting human rights.
“Many communities in the United States consider immigration as a threat rather than an opportunity to enrich culture and increase productivity. Our organization works across the country to empower local leaders from all sectors to welcome immigrants and make them productive members of society,” Lubell said as he described the principles and approach Welcoming America provides in communities.
