October Events Recap
Hispanic?Heritage?Month Celebration
We had a great time celebrating the end of Hispanic Heritage Month with KPMG US?and our local sponsors?AuguStar, Marathon, Robert Half, Protiviti, The One Group, and Zoom. Our National ALPFAmilia participated?in the nationwide virtual discussion about the role of ERGs in advancing DEI with KPMG?and the conversations?were thought-provoking and enlightening. After the watch party, our local Denver ALPFAmilia connected and networked at the?Conexion Mixer at STK Steakhouse.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our attendees and our esteemed speakers: Damian Rivera, CEO of ALPFA, Michael Benitez Jr. PhD, Enna Jimenez, and Baliia McKinney. Their insights were invaluable!
The journey toward a more inclusive future continues. Keep the inspiration alive and stay connected to foster diversity and inclusion in your workplaces.

Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead)| Nov 1-2
领英推荐
Dia De Los Muertos?is not a somber occasion, but rather a joyful and colorful holiday that celebrates the connection between life and death. Families come together to create ofrendas (altars) adorned with marigolds, sugar skulls, candles, and the favorite foods and mementos of those who have passed away.?
This Mexican holiday, celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, is a beautiful and meaningful tradition that honors and remembers our departed loved ones.
