COMMUNITY PARTNERS
ASHLEY LA RUSSA
As a small business owner focused on supporting the growth of organizations and community leaders that foster equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives; La Suprema shines as Roux Events’ community partner that understands the importance of culture. When I’m not partnering with hotels, co-working spaces, and event venues to strategically plan how to serve the community as a whole; I’m at local businesses meeting individuals that contribute to Tucson’s resilience.
