Tengo que decirlo: es incre\u00edble c\u00f3mo pasa el tiempo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A\u00fan recuerdo con mucho cari\u00f1o mi primera interacci\u00f3n con la asociaci\u00f3n. Hace m\u00e1s de tres a\u00f1os, nuestra presidenta anterior, Antonia Ivette Solivan, fue la primera persona a quien pude contactar en PRPARI. Ivette, quien con tanto amor y sacrificio dedic\u00f3 sus mejores a\u00f1os a nuestra causa, me dio la m\u00e1s c\u00e1lida bienvenida a Rhode Island y a nuestra comunidad puertorrique\u00f1a en este estado. En esa misma llamada, Ivette (a quien cari\u00f1osamente llamamos &#8220;Ive&#8221;) me dio m\u00faltiples recomendaciones sobre d\u00f3nde disfrutar de la comida boricua. Con los brazos abiertos, Ivette me abri\u00f3 las puertas a esta organizaci\u00f3n, que hoy llevo en el alma como puertorrique\u00f1o y como presidente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al comenzar como voluntario en la organizaci\u00f3n, conoc\u00ed a muchas personas en la Junta de Directores y a otros voluntarios que me inspiraron profundamente. Hoy en d\u00eda, nunca olvido a todos los que estuvieron antes que yo, y con mucho honor, llevo con orgullo el legado de aquellos que dieron lo mejor por nuestra comunidad antes de que nuestro equipo actual asumiera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En ese esp\u00edritu, me complace informar que, gracias al arduo trabajo de los voluntarios y la Directiva, la Asociaci\u00f3n de Puertorrique\u00f1os Profesionales de RI (PRPARI) ha incrementado su impacto en la comunidad de Rhode Island. En 2024, la cantidad de voluntarios aument\u00f3 un 33%, incrementando significativamente nuestra capacidad de impacto. La clave para este logro ha sido la digitalizaci\u00f3n de nuestro mercadeo, la realizaci\u00f3n de eventos sociales en persona y las recomendaciones de nuestros voluntarios, quienes invitan a amigos y familiares a unirse a nuestra causa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En el \u00e1mbito financiero, en 2024 la Asociaci\u00f3n de Puertorrique\u00f1os Profesionales de RI (PRPARI) ha incrementado su capacidad de recaudar fondos en un 18%, sin contar con nuestro evento ic\u00f3nico, el \u201cParrand\u00f3n\u201d puertorrique\u00f1o. Este logro ha sido posible gracias a la constante b\u00fasqueda de apoyo econ\u00f3mico, la red de conexiones que hemos creado en la comunidad, el apoyo continuo de l\u00edderes que creen en nuestra misi\u00f3n y el trabajo incansable de nuestros voluntarios, quienes reflejan nuestro serio compromiso con la excelencia puertorrique\u00f1a y el impacto que deseamos llevar a la comunidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En el \u00e1mbito de estructura, PRPARI contar\u00e1 con cinco nuevos comit\u00e9s: Relaciones P\u00fablicas, Desarrollo Profesional y Econ\u00f3mico, Membres\u00eda y Retenci\u00f3n, Bienestar Social y Gesti\u00f3n Cultural. Cada comit\u00e9 crear\u00e1 diversas iniciativas que apoyen nuestra misi\u00f3n de ser la plataforma ejecutiva para el desarrollo socioecon\u00f3mico y cultural de los puertorrique\u00f1os y sus comunidades. Estos comit\u00e9s han atra\u00eddo a un n\u00famero creciente de profesionales y estudiantes universitarios comprometidos con el cambio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En el \u00e1mbito de eventos y participaci\u00f3n c\u00edvica, estamos en proceso de organizar un evento de educaci\u00f3n financiera para la comunidad latina, en el cual podamos ense\u00f1ar y promover habilidades y conocimientos para la creaci\u00f3n de riqueza intergeneracional. Asimismo, estamos planificando iniciativas para crear conciencia sobre la salud en nuestra comunidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estos logros y metas no son casualidades, sino el fruto del arduo esfuerzo de nuestros aliados, patrocinadores y voluntarios. Me emociona y me llena de ilusi\u00f3n el futuro que nos espera como comunidad puertorrique\u00f1a y latina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gracias por depositar su confianza en nuestra visi\u00f3n y misi\u00f3n. Queda mucho camino por recorrer, pero estoy consciente de que, sin importar los retos que se nos presenten, como dijo Ra\u00fal Juli\u00e1: <em>\u201cLo imposible no es boricua\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Puerto Rican community and allies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This past October, the Board of Directors of the Puerto Rican Professionals Association of RI (PRPARI) celebrated one year since the transition to our new administration. I must say\u2014it\u2019s incredible how time flies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still remember my first interaction with the association with great fondness. Over three years ago, our former president, Antonia Ivette Solivan, who was the first person I contacted at PRPARI. Ivette, who dedicated her best years to our cause with so much love and sacrifice, gave me the warmest welcome to Rhode Island and to our Puerto Rican community in this state. During that very call, Ivette (whom we lovingly call &#8220;Ive&#8221;) recommended several places to enjoy Puerto Rican food. With open arms, Ivette welcomed me into this organization that I now hold dear as both a Puerto Rican and as president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I began volunteering with the organization, I met many people on the Board of Directors and other volunteers who inspired me deeply. To this day, I never forget those who came before me, and with great honor, I carry with pride the legacy of those who gave their best for our community before my arrival and that of our current team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that spirit, I am pleased to announce that, thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and the Board, the Puerto Rican Professionals Association of RI (PRPARI) has increased its impact in the Rhode Island community. In 2024, the number of volunteers increased by 33%, significantly boosting our association&#8217;s capacity to make a difference. The key to this achievement has been our digital marketing efforts, in-person social events, and volunteer recommendations that encourage friends and family to join our cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of finances, in 2024, the Puerto Rican Professionals Association of RI (PRPARI) has increased its fundraising capacity by 18%, not including our iconic event, the &#8220;Parrand\u00f3n.&#8221; This accomplishment has been made possible by the constant search for financial support, the network of connections we\u2019ve built within the community, the ongoing help of leaders who believe in our mission, and the tireless efforts of our volunteers, who reflect our strong commitment to Puerto Rican excellence and the impact we aim to make in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Structurally, PRPARI will now have five new committees: Public Relations, Professional and Economic Development, Membership and Retention, Social Welfare, and Cultural Management. Each committee will create initiatives that align with our mission to be the executive platform for the socioeconomic and cultural development of Puerto Ricans and their communities. These committees have attracted a growing number of professionals and university students who identify with and are committed to driving change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the area of events and civic engagement, we are in the process of organizing a financial literacy event for the Latino community, where we can teach and promote skills and knowledge for building intergenerational wealth. Additionally, we are planning initiatives to raise health awareness in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These achievements and goals are not coincidences; they are the result of the dedicated efforts of our allies, sponsors, and volunteers. The future that awaits us as a Puerto Rican and Latino community excites and inspires me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for placing your trust in our vision and mission. There is still much road ahead, but I am confident that, no matter the challenges we face, as Ra\u00fal Juli\u00e1 said, \u201cThe impossible is not boricua.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Querida comunidad puertorrique\u00f1a y aliados: El pasado mes de octubre, la Junta de Directores de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Puertorrique\u00f1os Profesionales de RI (PRPARI, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) cumpli\u00f3 un a\u00f1o desde su transici\u00f3n a nuestra nueva administraci\u00f3n.
