Longtime former ALMA board member and Univision's news director celebrates 30 years in Arizona media

It was an honor to celebrate a longtime ALMA friend and incredible advocate for journalism: Juan Villa.

La familia de Univision Arizona, juntos con Chicanos por la Causa y ALMA, dedicaron una tarde muy especial para apreciar la trayectoria de Juan, quien lleva mas de 30 años sirviendo a la comunidad Hispana en Arizona.

From working as a reporter in radio, print and TV, y su liderazgo como director de noticias en Univision Arizona por 15 años- Juan is the embodiment of a friend, colleague and mentor.

Thank you to all the friends who came to celebrate Juan, and to ASU Cronkite School Dean Dr. Battinto Batts, CPLC's Maria Jesus Cervantes, Consul de Mexico en Phoenix Jorge Mendoza Yescas, and City of Phoenix's Monica Alonzo on behalf of the Mayor's office for their inspiring homage to Juan.

Juan: gracias por tus años apoyando a ALMA y a muchísimos Latinos en Arizona. 👏
