County celebrates women in government with video series

County Executive George Latimer is extremely proud of Westchester’s diverse workforce – especially those who are women working in County government.

Latimer’s administration consists of a vast majority of high-ranking women professionals, more than any past administration, who have done an exemplary job
for Westchester County.  These women hold positions such as director of operations, director of communications and director of economic development, as
well as serving as commissioners and deputy commissioners for county departments.

Throughout the month of October, Westchester County government will profile women who are providing key leadership for the county.  Each woman has
their own story to tell, and each one has overcome various obstacles to achieve their success.

“All of the women that you will meet this month have joined our administration because they believed their background and perspective could help ensure a
better life for the people of Westchester County,” Westchester County George Latimer said.  “As professionals and as successful women in County government, I am proud of each and every one of them for their steadfast commitment towards improving the County we all love to call home.”

A key member of Latimer’s operations team, Blanca Lopez serves as a liaison to several county departments, an advisor to the county executive
on fair and affordable housing, and a leader on many special projects including Census 2020 and the county’s Police Reform and Reinvention Task Force.
