Today was the last class for Class of 2026 and Cohort 7 of the @lbjwcs and wow! What a beautiful, motivational, inspiring journey this school has been — I have learned SO much and met SO many amazing women leaders in the political field right now, and getting to do this alongside 54 other incredible future and current women leaders across the nation has been such a huge blessing! I got to learn not only from our presenters, but also from my fellow classmates. I am so grateful for the doors it has opened for me since May!

A simple thank you to @twujniwl @txwomans is not nearly enough for providing full reimbursement grant scholarships to some of us — including myself — so we could attend this outstanding school free of charge!!! It made it so I could attend!

I have made some beautiful lifelong friendships and all of the connections I have made professionally will help propel my advocacy forward — I am looking forward to what the future holds and where my education at the LBJ Women’s Campaign School takes me!

We have one final assignment for the first half of October and our virtual graduation ceremony & family session happens in November! I cannot believe it is already almost the end of our classes cohort!

If you have been considering applying — This is your sign!

This award, presented by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship and examples set a foundation for women at all levels of a company’s supply chain network.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Aug. 22, 2026 — Natasha Cruz-Sánchez, a proud Puerto Rican, nurse, truck driver, logistics professional, industry advocate, and participant in the LBJ Women’s Campaign School at The University of Texas at Austin, was named a recipient of this year’s Women in Supply Chain Forum™ Award in the DEI Pioneer category.

This year I was lucky enough to be chosen as part of Cohort 7 & the Class of 2026 of the @lbjwcs at @utaustintx and in addition, I got one of the full reimbursements/scholarships from @txwomans @twujniwl, so I could attend without worrying about the cost and it truly made a world of difference for me to be able to attend!

May 13th to 15th were so busy, but in the best way possible! Getting to spend so much time with such strong, courageous, kind, accepting, and uplifting women who want to take leadership roles was the highlight of the entire week for sure.

I also got to meet @senjanenelson as she was our keynote speaker that week! She was incredibly kind and it was an honor to speak with her.

This week will not be forgotten and I’m looking forward to what the future holds for me, and where this path will take me!

Very lucky to be a student of this incredible campaign school til November. I’m honored to help represent the Dallas area with other DFW residents, representing our local non-profits in addition to the Disability community in Dallas!

Not sure what else to say, I’m still processing everything, but it was just an all around really amazing 3 days with so many amazing women!

Thank you all for your support and following along!
