Latina President and CEO breaks barriers while leading one of nation's largest nonprofits
Alicia Nunez made history last year when she became the first Latina to lead Chicanos Por La Causa as president and CEO in the organization's nearly 60-year history.
The milestone represents more than personal achievement for Nunez – it's validation of decades of work by women who came before her and a beacon of possibility for future generations.
"It was a confirmation of all of the hard work women before me had and the impact they had on the organization," Nunez said.
Chicanos Por La Causa stands as one of the largest nonprofits in the country, advocating for equity in health and human services, housing, education, and economic development. The organization serves communities across Arizona and five other states, affecting thousands of families.
