Worth area Hispanic women leaders working to increase business and leadership opportunities for Latinas, will honor Rosa Navejar, President of The Rios Group, Inc., a civil engineering firm that provides Subsurface Utility Engineering and Utility Coordination services, with its 2024 Latina Living Legend (LLL) Award.
