Business Life Women Achievers: Ruth Davidson Guerra

Ruth Davidson Guerra has worked in the community development field for over 20 years, 17 of which she spent working for the City of Burbank Community Development Department. For the past five years, she served the Burbank community as Assistant Community Development Director for Housing and Redevelopment. Ruth is responsible for the citys affordable housing programs, the activities of the Redevelopment Agency, economic development, the Community Development Grant Program, and the Citys real estate activities.

Ruths goal is to offer her best and bring out the best in those she works with, and credits her work ethic to her parents who instilled in her the importance of working hard and giving back, and says she has had several mentors throughout her professional life.

She says she is inspired her on a daily basis by members of her community, her staff and City Manage, and she credits her bosss influence for pushing her harder and farther to accomplish more than she would ever have thought possible. In turn, she strives to give back, hoping to provide inspiration and growth-promoting challenges to others.

Ruths definition of success is to be able to feel that she left this place in better condition than when she arrived. Achieving success, in Ruths opinion, is a lifelong process, and feels she is still on that journey.
