LULAC Elects New Leader
=======================


Roman Palomares, LULAC Chief of Staff and the LULAC Chairman of Military and
Veteran Affairs, elected LULAC National President effective June 29, 2024

Las Vegas, Nevada, and Washington, D.C. – July 1, 2024 - The League of United
Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Nation’s largest and oldest Latino civil
rights volunteer-based organization, announced it has elected Roman Palomares as
LULAC National President effective June 29, 2024.

Roman Palomares, a Vietnam Era veteran and retired Federal Executive, is a
national housing expert and currently serves as the LULAC Chief of Staff and
Chairman of Military and Veteran Affairs. Palomares earned a Washington
Fellowship from HUD, a master's in public administration from University of
Southern California and has had successful 40-year career with the Federal
Government for which he received numerous awards. These experiences inspired him
to start his own management consultant firm that provides technical assistance to
local government entities throughout the United States. He teaches, develops,
inspires, and mentors hundreds of local government and housing board members that
have responsibility of overseeing local government agencies across the United
States.

“Roman has been an integral part of our organization for over 40 years, bringing
a deep commitment to advancing the values and mission of LULAC which has
contributed significantly to our growth and success,” said Juan Proaño, CEO of
LULAC. “As our new National President, I am confident that he will continue to
work tirelessly to amplify the voices of our communities, advocate for equitable
policies for all marginalized groups including women, veterans, and the LGTBQ
community, and address the pressing issues facing Latino individuals, families,
and small businesses today. His vision, leadership qualities, and dedication make
him the ideal candidate to lead us into this next chapter as we embark on our
journey to 100 years as an organization.”

“Additionally, we are beyond grateful for Domingo’s invaluable guidance and
leadership during his tenure and are confident that under Roman's leadership, we
will continue to succeed on this journey of Latino excellence,” Proaño added.

“I am extremely humbled and honored to assume this new position” said Roman
Palomares, new National President of LULAC. “I am committed to listening to the
LULAC community’s concerns, collaborating with them to find solutions, and
working together towards a future where every member of our community can thrive.
I look forward to representing this organization with integrity, passion, and a
relentless drive to make a positive difference as we work together to achieve the
important work of LULAC and build a brighter future for all. This 95th Convention
has been focused on empowering the next generation. I am very excited to continue
to train and develop legacy builders that can carry the torch.”
