Maritza Romero joined NWHF in April 2024.

Formerly, Maritza served as a program director at The Harbor, leading culturally specific programming for the Latine community in Astoria and surrounding Clatsop County. Before that, she worked at Consejo Hispano (formerly called Lower Columbia Hispanic Council), leading an advocacy group called La Voz de Comunidad that built the Latine community’s civic leadership presence in Clatsop County, engaging on issues including early learning, transportation for Head Start, and opposing Measure 105.

Maritza’s roots are from Nayarit and Puebla Mexico. Her family immigrated to California where she was born and later moved to Oregon where she has spent most of her life. Maritza enjoys spending time with her family, including her partner and two daughters. She also likes to share her cultural traditions with friends and family and visit parks and bodies of water.
