Eneida Roman aims to help close the opportunity gap in Massachusetts.
“We're talking about investing in the Latino community,” said Roman. “This is an investment because economic prosperity of the Latino community is American prosperity."
Roman is the president and CEO of Amplify LatinX, a nonprofit focused on helping Latinos in Massachusetts and beyond attain not just wealth but influence. The organization centers on three pillars: economic development, leadership representation and policy advocacy.
“We understand that all three (pillars) live in similar spaces, and we need to make sure that we're advancing policy solutions that close opportunity gaps for disadvantaged communities.”
