Last week, Illinois Unidos held an extraordinary community gathering, bringing together our amazing team members, community health workers, and organization partners. The occasion? To celebrate our Digital Media Coordinator, Keyla Ferretiz, who traveled from North Carolina to meet her Illinois Unidos team members and organization partners for the first time!
This gathering wasn’t just about connecting with Keyla—it was also an opportunity to celebrate our wonderful Executive Director, Alejandra Ibañez, on her birthday! A special thank you to our amazing team member, Mary, who made the day even more memorable by surprising Ale with a birthday cake.
The celebration took place at the National Museum of Mexican Art, a space that reflects the vibrant culture and community spirit that we at Illinois Unidos strive to uplift. We are grateful for the chance to gather in person, share laughter, and reconnect, especially after so much of our work has been remote.
As we reflect on the joy of this gathering, we are reminded of the power of community and the importance of staying connected. That’s why Illinois Unidos is excited to invite you to join our membership program!
