HISPANIC LEAGUE TEAM

DIANE MASSAS

  • In life we must always aim to grow as a human being and help others grow and reach their maximum potential. The Hispanic community has distinguished itself in the United States and other countries in the world for their perseverance and their desire to fight tirelessly. When I learned about the Hispanic League, I fell in love with its mission: to provide opportunities for Hispanic people to enrich their knowledge and create ties beyond language and cultural diversity. I am proud to belong to the League and I hope to contribute to helping others become empowered leaders in our Hispanic community.

    It’s a real honor to be part of the Board of the Hispanic League. As an immigrant myself, have benefited from their support on more than one occasion in my life. Back in 2001, I served as the League’s first administrative assistant, and have since been involved in multiple events as a volunteer for many years. The Hispanic League has a real impact in our community. Now as Board member I have the opportunity to help broaden this impact which contributes to the prosperity of the Hispanic community as well as the greater community as a whole.

    I was asked to be on the Hispanic League Scholarship Committee several years ago to assist in the effort to provide needed scholarships for Latino/Latina students in our area, This have been a very rewarding effort for me, so muc so that when I was asked to consider being on the Board of Directors I was quite excited about the prospect if expanding my participation in the Mission of the Hispanic League. I remain quite committed to that mission.

    I have been involved with the Hispanic League, in one way or another since the 1990s.  I started volunteering at the annual Fiesta in 1995. I was one of the first two Scholarship recipients in 2020.  I think  it is in my nature to help other, regardless; but we all have to give back. The Hispanic League has been there to support me, this is my time to support the Hispanic League at another level.
