This past year, Miata Getaweh spearheaded the launch of a mentorship program at Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS), matching senior-level mentors with emerging leaders as part of a broader effort to cultivate personal and professional development across the St. Paul organization. Getaweh also implemented a new day care resource at LSS earlier this year, and in just four months, 90 employees opted into the program. Under her leadership, LSS expanded its benefits and supportive services to include tuition discounts and college scholarships, as well as new health benefits. Getaweh is also a co-founder and lead organizer of the African Immigrant Professional Development Conference. Through this, she recently launched a mentorship cohort in partnership with Best Buy and Land O’Lakes.
