President's Message

Welcome to LAPA,
It is a great honor to lead and represent such a professional organization. As we all know, 2017 was not an election year but the membership was busy raising money for the LAPA Foundation for Excellence and began interviewing and endorsing candidates.  As a non-partisan Association, we need to ensure that Latino candidates, and issues, are represented adequately at all levels of Government. LAPA’s position has always been to help, and promote, Latino participation in the political process. We will also continue with our annual events such as our golf tournament which benefits the LAPA Foundation for Excellence. We will continue to support the annual Barrio Logan toy drive and other such events. We will continue to partner with, and support, other Organizations pursuing similar goals; and we will remain committed to community issues relevant to Latinos. I ask for your continued support in 2018 so that we can jointly achieve the goals and objectives of this Association and so LAPA can continue to be a viable voice, within the County of San Diego, for all Latinos.
