Help with newspaper article

Each week I try to translate an article from a Spanish newspaper in English (and vice versa). I'm a little stuck on this sentence (note: I copied the punctuation carefully).

Votantes en acción. Al celebrarse el 93 aniversario de la Liga de Mujeres Votantes de Boston que por primera vez abrió sus puertas a una mujer latina para que integre su directiva, la directora del Centro para Mujeres en Política y Política Pública de la Universidad de Massachusetts, doctora Carol Hardy-Fanta, urgió a las mujeres latinas a participar en política.

Here's my attempt at a translation, but the end doesn't make sense:

Voters in action at the celebration of the 93 anniversary of the league of women voters that for the first time opened the doors to a latino woman for inclusion on the board, the center for woman in politics and public policy at UMASS, Doctor Carol Hardy-Fanta urges latino women to participate in politics.

Thanks for any help.

Wow, that second one is one long sentence lol. You've done well. Here are my suggestions smile The first one being that the first three words formed a separate sentence.

Voters in action. While (when) celebrating of the 93 anniversary of the Boston League of Women Voters, that opened it's doors for the first time to a latino woman for inclusion on the board, the director of The Center for Woman in Politics and Public Policy at UMASS, Doctor Carol Hardy-Fanta urged latin women to participate in politics.
