Las Profesionales is an auxiliary of the San Pedro-South Bay chapter of National Assistance League®. Chartered in 1995, the auxiliary allows women who are employed, to participate in and support the chapter’s fundraising and philanthropic programs. Meetings and functions are held in the evenings or weekends. Besides supporting the chapter, our philanthropic programs include assault survivor kits and scholarships for forensic nurses, the first to be offered in the United States.
