Maritza Alvarez - Chair Elect
Vice President of Memorial Neuroscience Institute
“As the daughter of immigrant parents, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand the courage and determination it takes to leave one’s country and pursue the American Dream. In those days, resources and support services for immigrants were scarce to nonexistent. I support HUF because it has become a beacon in our community for immigrants seeking guidance and support as they acclimate to their new home.”
