"I joined the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream because its mission aligns with what I hold true and value for my own children, to have equal access and opportunity to attain anything they can imagine for themselves. A sentiment born from the courage of my family of innovators, educators, and trailblazers from Omaha, Nebraska who migrated to the area from the South, becoming beacons of success in the community through hard work and determination. Their dreams have become our accomplishments and I hope through the work we achieve together at MCAAD, their legacy will carry on through my children and future generations."
Driven by a passion for creating impactful storytelling through event design and production, Venus Figueroa has served as the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream Director of Events since March 2022. Prior to joining, Venus worked at a leading global law firm, where she delivered client-facing programs and special events in support of thought leadership and marketing initiatives.
