ALPFA New York

ALPFA chapters empower Latino professionals locally, offering tailored networking, mentorship, and career-building opportunities to fuel personal and professional growth.

Hello New York

FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Hola ALPFAmilia,

We are excited about the strategic plan our Board has prepared for this year! I am honored to serve as President with my Board of Directors. We have grown exponentially, but this could not have been possible without the dedication & continuous effort of our incredible team of volunteers and leaders. It’s Q2 and we have already achieved one of our strategy pillars, to have a fully staffed board to aid in the effective execution of our chapter deliverables.

For the rest of 2024 and beyond, our Board and Operating Committees are excited about our events and programs that are underway and/or being developed to make them meaningful to you as our members. Our goal is to provide ample opportunities for professional development, networking and community engagement. Let’s continue empowering and connecting Latino leaders for impact and create a more equitable workforce.

To stay connected continuously check out our social media for new curated events and let us know what we can do better to reflect your evolving professional and personal needs – We want your ideas, thoughts, and contributions.

Our chapter welcomes new and existing ALPFA members who live in the Tri-State area. If you are not a member yet, we invite you to join our ALPFAmilia and help grow the ALPFA NY community.

Who We Are

In addition, we have a strong body of students from local universities and colleges.
