It is with deep honor and gratitude that I step into the role of President of the American Association of Colombian Engineers (AACE). I thank you for the trust you have placed in me, and I look forward to serving this extraordinary community with dedication, transparency, and purpose.
Our mission at AACE remains strong and clear:
We are committed to supporting Hispanic engineers and architects in their professional development, empowering them to grow, connect, and lead in their fields.
We believe that diversity and collaboration are powerful forces in shaping the future of engineering. architecture, and innovation. As we continue to expand our programs, partnerships, and outreach, we remain focused on creating opportunities that uplift and unite professionals of Hispanic heritage across the United States.
As a follower of God, I personally believe that leadership is not about position, it is about service. I see this role not only as a professional responsibility, but as a calling to serve others with integrity, humility, and vision. It is my prayer and intention to lead in a way that honors our values and strengthens our community.
To our loyal members: thank you for your continued engagement, passion, and support.
