Astrid Gámez to Join CPAC Combating Narco-Terrorism Summit

Astrid Gámez, founder and executive director of Family Services Network, is a confirmed speaker for the Combating Narco-Terrorism Summit hosted by CPAC and México Republicano.

Astrid Gámez is the founder and Executive Director of Family Services Network, where she has dedicated 29 years to serving communities in Northern Virginia and the Washington DC area. She developed the "Whom Should I Tell?" curriculum, a comprehensive child sexual abuse prevention program that equips parents and caregivers with practical tools to prevent, recognize, and report abuse. As an ACT-RSK Master Trainer, she has trained facilitators across the United States, Colombia, and Ecuador. In 2021, she published an educational coloring and activities book titled "Whom Should I Tell?" designed to help children ages 4 to 12 understand and recognize signs of sexual abuse. Governor Glenn Youngkin appointed her to the Virginia Latino Advisory Board in 2022, where she has been elected Chair twice, and in 2025 appointed her as a member of the State Board of Health. Through her invaluable experience protecting the vulnerable, she will share strategies on how children can be better protected by combating narco-terrorism and the drug and human trafficking networks used by criminals.

The Combating Narco-Terrorism Summit will be held on Thursday, February 5, 9:30 am-2:00 pm in the Cannon Caucus Room.
