Wells Fargo is Founding Supporter of American Latino Veterans Association

Herndon, VA – The American Latino Veterans Association (ALVA) is truly grateful to recognize Wells Fargo as a founding corporate supporter and partner of the organization. Wells Fargo provided vital capacity building support to this new national non-profit which was critical in getting it off the ground and developing its core capacity.

The American Latino Veterans Association (ALVA) exists to help Latino veterans thrive and recognize their indispensable contributions throughout history. ALVA focuses on five key areas: Workforce Development/Job Placement, Entrepreneurship and Business Growth, Telling the Stories of Latino Military Contributions since the inception of our nation, Advocacy on Policies that impact veterans and Latinos, and a Repository of Information on Benefits/Resources these veterans have earned.

“Words cannot describe how much we appreciate the support and leadership of Wells Fargo in stepping up to ensure we could launch our organization to support Latino Veterans across the country,” stated ALVA Founder/Chairman and CEO, Danny Vargas. He continued, “The support we received from Wells Fargo allowed us to establish the entity, create a brand, launch the website, and more. We thank Wells Fargo for its ongoing support and invite everyone to become members of ALVA, share information about us, and support our cause”.

Ruben Barrales, Wells Fargo SVP for External Engagement, Diverse Segments, Representation and Inclusion, stated, “ALVAs mission to empower American Latino veterans to thrive after their military service aligns perfectly with Wells Fargo’s dedication to support military communities to effectively navigate life’s transition to achieve ongoing career and financial success.
