Jobs for Nevada’s Graduates (J4NG), a Nevada statewide education-based nonprofit organization that aims for all students to graduate high school college and career ready, recently announced Maria Gatti as the new board chair.
As a first-generation immigrant, Gatti was born in Ecuador and moved to the United States when she was 15. Early on, she had a passion for giving back to her community and has been involved with nonprofit work since the start of her career. Shortly after J4NG was established in Nevada in 2014, former Gov. Brian Sandoval, nominated Gatti to serve as a member on the board. Gatti has been actively involved in the organization ever since and most recently served as the vice chair of the board before accepting her new position as board chair.
Gatti is the Executive Director of Community Engagement for MGM Resorts International, which is one of Nevada’s largest employers in the state and a longtime partner of J4NG, by providing career, internship and apprenticeship opportunities to students in Southern Nevada.
