Molera Alvarez Associate, Government Relations, Francisco Pastor-Rivera recently participated in the Phoenix Brunch & Policy Careers Panel, sharing insights from his career in public policy and education leadership. As the youngest board member and board president in Phoenix Union High School District history, Pastor-Rivera offered a unique perspective on the importance of bringing new voices and generational perspectives to public service. Elected at just 22 years old, he brought a new perspective to the governing board while working alongside fellow board members, educators, families and community stakeholders to address issues impacting students and schools. The panel also provided an opportunity for Pastor-Rivera to share career advice with emerging leaders interested in pursuing careers in public policy, government and community engagement.
