John,

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Let’s recognize and celebrate the contributions of Hispanics in the U.S.

This week, we would like to introduce and highlight the story of a very passionate LULAC advocate, Rosa Rosales, who served as the 48th LULAC National President.

As a member, Rosa has been involved with the organization for over three decades. She has served in many roles, including most recently, National Vice President for the Southwest. She was re-elected to a record-breaking fourth term, she served for four years as LULAC Texas State Director, and she was the first woman district director for District 15--the largest district in the nation.

Rosales has nurtured her children and family in LULAC, and we are excited to share some of their stories too! Listen to her sons, Rodolfo Rosales and Gabriel Y. Rosales, and her grandaughter, Bianca Rosales at our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration site: LULAC.org/heritage!
