The Arizona Latino Media Association (ALMA) is a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization founded in 1997 with a mission to strengthen the media industry through diversity initiatives that deepen the scope, coverage, and understanding of the Latino community. We are dedicated to ensuring fair and balanced reporting on issues that matter most to Latinos in Arizona.
Our board members are passionate advocates for accurate representation in media. They bring unique expertise and a shared commitment to creating a more inclusive and informed media landscape.
In 2015, ALMA proudly became the Phoenix chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ). As an official NAHJ chapter, we continue to adapt to the changing media environment while welcoming and supporting the next generation of media professionals with great excitement.
ALMA Board of Directors
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Elections process for board members
When there are seats on the ALMA Board that are open for election/re-election, candidates are sought to fill them. Board membership is voluntary, but an election process is necessary to fill open seats. Current board members may seek re-election.
Eligibility: board candidates must be paid members of ALMA in good stead. The annual cost of ALMA membership for professionals is $35.
ALMA is an organization made up of working journalists and media/public relations professionals. We support diversity in the media industry. We plan and host events for young, aspiring journalists, including the annual ALMA High School Journalism Workshop. We also provide scholarships for students studying journalism at Arizona State University and local colleges. In addition, ALMA is an affiliate of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
The ALMA Board is instrumental in planning, hosting, and executing the organization’s programs.
