business strategy, organizational development, and operations, Trueba possesses a unique blend

of expertise that she generously shares with those around her. Her ability to nurture talent and

foster growth within the Girl Scouts community is unparalleled, inspiring girls and adult

volunteers alike to strive for excellence and unleash their full potential. Before her tenure with

GSSNV, Trueba played a pivotal role in shaping experiential environments within the hospitality,

restaurant, and entertainment sectors as Managing Principal, for an award- winning international

hospitality design firm, TAL Studio and development executive with Forte Specialty Contractors.

As a second-generation design professional, Trueba began her journey at Walt Disney

Imagineering, where she left an indelible mark over a decade by leading iconic projects within the

Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Resorts portfolio. Hailing from Wichita, Kansas, Trueba

earned her degree in Interior Architecture from Kansas State University, where she continues to

be recognized for her outstanding contributions, receiving the Honoree Alumni Award. Actively

of unity and collaboration in effecting meaningful change and actively seeks out opportunities to

amplify voices that are often marginalized or overlooked. Under Trueba's visionary leadership,

GSSNV reached new heights, marked by the historic receipt of the largest single private property

the Charles and Phyllis M. Frias Charitable Trust, valued at nearly $9 million, enabled GSSNV to

restore local overnight camp opportunities, an essential element of the Girl Scout Leadership

Experience. Trueba's ability to inspire philanthropy and uplift communities creates an enduring

]]> Episode 26 No Laughing Matter with Cuba Pete w John Edmond Roseman College of Medicine 00:45:38 About our guest … John Edmond is a native of West Las Vegas and a graduate of Las Vegas High School. He attended the University of Seattle, where he obtained his BAS in accounting in 1971. After working briefly in the accounting field, he was encouraged to attend dealer’s school. In 1972, he became the first African American to be employed as a baccarat dealer in the state of Nevada. In 1978, he conceived the idea of redeveloping a run-down retail center known as the Golden West Shopping Center, which he then purchased for $259,000. The Golden West Shopping Center was the largest shopping center built in 1964 in Southern Nevada. Mr. Edmond, with the assistance of key city officials, accomplished this ambitious undertaking, and completed the Nucleus Business Plaza. It was the largest piece of real estate owned by an African American in West Las Vegas; and he attracted several government offices to anchor the center. Later, he sold Nucleus Business Plaza for $6,800.000. In 2001, John Edmond, along with a group of investors, purchased the Westland Plaza property from the Magic Johnson Group. The 22.5-acre property was renamed Edmond Town Center and a 145,000 sq. ft. shopping center now flourishes there, hosting several national retailers. Mr. Edmond continues to be directly involved in the day-to-day operation of the Center, providing his commitment to continue to do business in, and support, his community.

(WRA). He works with WRA’s program staff to advance innovative legislative and administrative policy solutions critical to addressing

the state’s most pressing conservation challenges. As the first person to hold this position in Nevada, Williams is eager to get creative

and bring forward policy that will protect local communities.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Williams has a deep love for his community and the entire state. Having grown up in areas where there

was heavy pollution, working to ensure others have clean air to breathe makes his work at WRA personal. During his senior year of

college, Williams secured an internship with Senator Harry Reid, where he witnessed firsthand the collective action required in moving

forward efforts to protect our planet.

Senator Reid’s office then brought Williams on board after graduation where he served as the public lands and clean energy liaison and

worked with conservation organizations to protect public lands in Nevada, including Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument

and Gold Butte National Monument. And that was just the start of his service as a staffer in the U.S. Senate.

Prior to joining WRA, Williams was also the small business manager for U.S Senator Jacky Rosen where he helped small business

owners locate funding for their businesses and acted as a liaison for Nevada’s Native American, African American, and tech

communities. After nearly a decade working in the Senate, Williams wanted to dedicate his professional focus to environmental work.

He wanted to wake up every day knowing that he played a part in saving the world. He sees this as an opportunity to bring progress for

environmental justice for everyone – regardless of race, income, or background. Being part of WRA, he gets to actualize this dream by

working with a team of experts committed to improving air quality and protecting the land, water, and wildlife in our Western states.

Williams feels blessed to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful public and open spaces in Southern Nevada, including Red Rock

Canyon, Sloan Canyon, and Mount Charleston. His appreciation for these lands and his determination to ensure equitable access to all

communities fuels his desire to work in this space. Beyond working to protect public lands, Williams is also looking forward to

electrifying transportation and safeguarding Nevada’s most precious freshwater resources.

Williams earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Film from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Based in Las Vegas,

Williams enjoys hanging out with his family and watching movies in his free time. He is also deeply passionate about music.

year-old college senior at the University of Nevada, Reno when he sustained

life-ending injuries from a car crash in Reno, Nevada in March of 2007.

Kelly returned to the University of Nevada, Reno in May 2007 in support of

memorial activities and the Adam Thomas Legislative Intern Scholarship. It was

there that she found a brochure for the Solace Tree Program, a grieving support

center for children, teens and adults in Reno. The idea of a place for her younger

son, Alec, to go and work through his grief made a great impact on her. Kelly set

out to find a similar program in Las Vegas upon her return, but couldn’t find one.

After intensive research, guidance from the executive director, Emilio Parga, of

Solace Tree in Reno, and many talks with social workers, doctors, nurses and

school counselors, Adam’s Place opened its doors in 2010 and has been serving

the Southern Nevada community ever since.

She brings over 25 years of business and healthcare experience to the board.

Her unwavering passion for Adam's Place is obvious in her work in the

community.

]]> Roseman University College of Medicine Founding Executive Deans Joe Greer, Luther Brewster 00:36:55 In this episode of No Laughing Matter with Cuba Pete, he sits down with his team of Executive Deans to discuss the difficult questions medical schools and healthcare systems are struggling to answer. Ask yourself, is it fair that a medical school student can train by working with low-income patients at a public hospital and then upon graduating and becoming a licensed Physician decline to care for Medicaid patients? The team will discuss issues of student and Physician diversity (or the lack thereof), the ethics of caring for people and “trust” as a component of improving health in society. This group has some radical ideas for spurring change and they plan to make Roseman College of Medicine the center-piece of that change.

]]> Mistrust and Inequities in Healthcare w/ Spencer Haywood Dr. Joe Greer, Dr. Luther Brewster 00:43:19 During this episode of No Laughing Matter with Cuba Pete, he hosts National Basketball Hall of Fame, Spencer Haywood. They will discuss how COVID-19 has shined a spotlight on the value of trust when working to make communities healthier. Mr. Haywood has been working tirelessly to address this problem and will share some of the strategies and partnerships he has formed to promote change. They will discuss how a breach of “trust” has undermined the effectiveness of our healthcare system, public health and healthcare innovation. About our guest .. Spencer Haywood is an NBA Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist. Spencer was part of the Lakers 1980 National Championship team, but is also famous for successfully suing the NBA all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1971 (Haywood vs. NBA) which opened the opportunity for basketball players to enter the draft without having to wait until four years after high school. Now a Las Vegas resident, Spencer is passionate about encouraging the black community to get vaccinated when they become eligible. He addresses the history of mistrust due to such instances as the infamous 1932 Tuskegee Study, but wants people to understand how important it is for the Black community to get the vaccine as the pandemic is disproportionately impacting them.
