Cultura
In our organization we believe in the phrase “Latino excellence” but the first part of this carries our culture. Being Latinos means giving back to our communities and having the mentorship for one on other. Through events like picnic on the slope, paint and sip with the Mexican association. Our organization tries to bring cultural aspects into our events and professionalism. Being Latino is something that has pride in our organization, so our members embrace this aspect more at ALPFA.
