Rocío Guenther joined the City of San Antonio’s International Relations Office in 2018. Rocío grew up in Guadalajara, Mexico and bridges two countries, two cultures, and two languages. After graduating from Trinity University with a B.A. in English and a minor in Political Science, Rocío joined the Rivard Report as Editorial Assistant and Reporter, where she wrote more than 300 articles on topics including the Latino population, U.S.-Mexico relations, immigration, international trade, city planning and economic development, and overall local politics. Previously, she interned with the Office of U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro and wrote about local food trends for Edible San Antonio Magazine.
I always thought that being on a local board, commission, or committee meant that I had to be a prominent politician, a well-off C-Level Executive, or a proven community leader with decades of working experience. Turns out I was wrong.
After 12 years of driving progress toward a shared community vision, SA2020, the nonprofit organization, is dissolving. We believe this is the most visionary thing we can do. We made this decision with the greatest care for our organizational values of leadership, community, and accountability, and we hope you’ll read more about it on our blog.
Our website is live with our final data release, showing where San Antonio stands on reaching the shared community vision. The data release is accompanied by our final call to action—a policy agenda for City government based on our unique bird’s-eye view of San Antonio.
While SA2020’s operations ended March 28, these resources, along with the last twelve years of our research and stories, will be available to download from our website through September 2024.
