On September 11th, we gathered together for our 10th annual forum, a momentous occasion that marked a decade of uniting our communities in celebration and purpose. Each year, we honor those individuals and organizations who often work behind the scenes, tirelessly dedicated to uplifting the Latino communities. Their love and joy for service may not always be in the spotlight, but it certainly shines brightly, illuminating paths for others. This year, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the winners of the Quetzal Awards! We proudly celebrate these remarkable trailblazers—three inspiring women whose unwavering commitment to Health, Education, and Youth Development has sparked a transformative fire within our community. | |
