As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we want to highlight the special events and activities that brought our CrossCountry community together to honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic and Latin Americans. Here’s a recap of the memorable moments we shared over the past few weeks:
We kicked off the month-long celebrations with a picnic in the Washington, D.C. area, where colleagues, friends, and families gathered to enjoy delicious cuisine, music, and games. Co-hosted by BOLD and the Black Employee Network (BEN), this gathering was a perfect blend of fun and cultural pride, reminding us of the power of community!
ALPFA Events & Panel Discussion:
On September 14, we partnered with the Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA) for a summit in Boston, Massachusetts that was focused on career growth and development. A dynamic panel discussion moderated by Greg Hartwell featured Alejandra Mondestin, Mike Moise, and Patricia Asuncion Santana who shared their personal journeys, challenges, and successes. The event empowered students with the resources, connections, and knowledge to succeed in their professional careers.
We also had the pleasure of hosting the ALPFA Washington, D.C. Board Meeting in our local office and attended the ALPFA Hispanic Heritage Month Gala, sponsored by EY. We enjoyed a wonderful evening of celebration and networking with LatinX Professionals.
Office Lunches:
To continue the ongoing celebration, BOLD organized an office lunch in each local market that brought a taste of Hispanic cultural to the workplace. Each office featured a different restaurant that provided a diverse menu from a variety of Latin American countries.
Employee Spotlights:
Our very own Juliana Mastrionni, was featured in the Hispanic Executive’s “American Dream” issue, celebrating Hispanic leaders making strides in business. Her story is an inspiring reminder of the perseverance, innovation, and impact of the Hispanic community.
As we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month, we are filled with gratitude for the shared experiences and the opportunity to celebrate the richness of Hispanic culture within our community. We remain committed to continuing this journey of learning, celebration, and inclusivity throughout the year, and we are incredibly proud of the participation and hard work that made these events so special.
