This event is over. View all of our upcoming events.

Laura Newman - Deputy Director, Neighbors Link.
- As a corporate drop-out, Laura found her calling in the nonprofit sector in Westchester County more than 20 years ago. Currently the Deputy Director at Neighbors Link, Laura held fundraising positions at Manhattanville College, Westchester Jewish Community Services, and The Guidance Center. Laura also had previous service at Neighbors Link in between those jobs; clearly, she was drawn back to the social justice of welcoming immigrants to our area.Laura enjoys taking a practical, collaborative approach to fundraising, program development and organizational strategy that produces great results for the communities served. Bringing together diverse groups of people to work for a common cause is what drives Laura in nonprofit management. Laura earned her undergraduate degree from Ithaca College and holds an MBA from Johns Hopkins University.
Margarita Zambrano - Migrant Assistance (MAP) Case Manager.
- Margarita first joined Neighbors Link as a volunteer in 2015 working in different departments. In 2016 she started her journey as a Parent-Child Program Facilitator. In 2021 she started working as the Client Support Services Coordinator and she is now our MAP Case Manager. She is supporting families to find affordable apartments, working with partner organizations to furnish those apartments; and providing an array of support services to each family, such as, legal aid, job assistance, school enrollment, and transportation to name a few.
