   Alice Cardona began her career with ASPIRA in 1970, and since then has devoted considerable energy and political know-how to a remarkable number of causes within and outside of the Puerto Rican community, from bilingual education to the rights of women. From 1983-94, Cardona served as the Assistant Director of the New York State Division for Women, focusing on AIDS and domestic violence. She has held leadership positions at the National Conference of Puerto Rican Women, the Puerto Rican Association for Community affairs, the New York Women's Foundation, the Sister Fund, the National Latinas Caucus, and, on the international level, Vital Voices of Women in Democracy.
