Bio

Gladys Anaya is an advocate for higher education and philantrhropy. She currently serves as the Coordinator of Development and Alumni Relations for Arizona Western College Foundation. As a former educator for 15 years, she witnessed the impact that education has on people's lives and the communities they live in. Her job is to cultivate relationships with donors for the Foundation to gain support for scholarship and programs for the college. Gladys can relate to donors because she, herself, is a philanthropist. For the past 18 years, she has served as the Secretary and Vice President of the El Diablito Arizona State University Alumni Chapter. El Diablito has awarded over $500,000 in scholarships to Yuma County students attending ASU. Go Devils!! The Somerton Tamale Festival is the event El Diablito hosts to generate funds for the scholarships. The event has been featured in the Phoenix Magazine as one of the 52 weekend activities to do in Arizona. Gladys prides herself on being one of the driving forces behind this massive event. Somerton, AZ has been her home for the past 30 years. She resides there with her husband, Jerry, of 14 years and her 2 kidlets, Baby G and Gianna. Her family is currently known as the First Family of Somerton since her husband was sworn in as Mayor in November. Her little family has been sharing their daddy with Somerton for over 9 years as he has served on city council. She wouldn't have it any other way! She loves to travel with her family, dance and game nights.
