She was the first Secretary for the Chicano Federation Board of Directors in 1969; and she represented San Diego Latinos by lobbying for youth programs in Washington D.C. and at the 1980 International Women's Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. Lopez has been an active member of such diverse organizations as the San Diego County Alcoholism Advisory Board, San Diego Community College District Center City Adult Citizen Council, Model Cities Advisory Board, Logan Heights Health Clinic, and Latino Foster Parents Association. To many Lilia Garcia Moreno de Lopez is known as a true Madrina, a role model with enormous strength and vision. She was inducted into the San Diego Women's Hall of Fame in 2003 with the title of Empowerer.
