SFLHCC's President Liliam M. Lopez at FIU in DC
This week, the vibrant heart of the South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce beats stronger as President Liliam M. Lopez takes on Washington, D.C., with an inspiring mission in mind. In a city where history and innovation intersect, Lily is championing the next generation by connecting with the students of the Alternative Break Program and influential executive personnel at Florida International University (FIU) in D.C.
An "alternative break program" is a college student initiative where students spend their school break, typically spring break, participating in community service projects at a location away from campus, often focused on a specific social issue, allowing them to learn about different communities and engage in meaningful reflection through hands-on service while developing leadership skills.
Her visit is symbolic and a testament to her unwavering commitment to fostering educational and professional opportunities for the Hispanic community. By engaging with tomorrow's leaders, Lily is planting seeds of inspiration and ambition, demonstrating that dreams can transcend into reality with the proper support.
