Boston City Council recognizes 55 years of service by La Alianza Hispana
Summary
Councilors honored La Alianza Hispana for more than five decades of services to Latino families—workforce development, senior programs, disability and family supports—at a ceremonial presentation led by Councilor Santana and La Alianza executive director Marisol Amaya.
The Boston City Council used a portion of its June meeting to recognize La Alianza Hispana for 55 years of community service.
Councilor [first name] Santana invited Marisol Amaya, who identified herself as executive director, to speak with staff and guests in the chamber. Marisol Amaya recounted the organization's history, describing programs ranging from early-childhood home-visiting and workforce development classes to senior wellness and adult-day services. "For 55 years La Alianza has been the bridge for a better future," Amaya said, acknowledging the work is personal for immigrant staff and families the organization serves.
Council members praised the group's efforts and took photos with guests. The council's ceremonial recognition highlighted the role community-based organizations play in serving immigrant families and connecting residents to education, health care and economic opportunities.
