Brother Aarón Almada (Alpha Sigma, Fall 2003) has been nominated as one of 12 Coors Light Líderes for his exceptional service to the Latin@ community. Brother Almada is a senior specialist for philanthropy at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI), and serves the Latin@ community in the Washington, D.C. metro area and throughout the country.
A press release from CHCI outlined Brother Almada’s extensive service and involvement history:
Almada was chosen as one of the 2015 Coors Light Líderes because of his work as a mentor and his involvement in giving back to his community. He serves as the Chair of the Latin American Youth Center Associate Board, where he helps lead a group of young professional volunteers. In 2010, Aarón was named one of Tucson’s ’40 Under 40′ young leaders. He was also recognized as ‘Rising Professional of the Year’ by Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. and by the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations. He is a mentor for both the CHCI Congressional Internship Program and the Hispanic Youth with Power & Education Program at the University of Maryland. As a Free and Accepted Mason of Federal Lodge #1 of the District of Columbia, he volunteers his time for the Lodge’s various causes, most recently with beautification projects for Casa Ruby’s new transitional home, a place for homeless transgender young adults.
“I am thrilled to be among such an amazing group of gifted and talented individuals chosen as the 2015 Coors Light Líderes, and proud to be representing such an empowering organization as CHCI,” said Almada. “Coors Light’s commitment to the Latino community is commendable, and serves as an exemplary model of how a company can and should invest in community.”
