Teresa Alvarado has been one of the driving forces behind the scenes of philanthropy in the Latino community for two decades.
But she'll be front and center as the first executive director of the Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley. The 8-year-old organization is best known for producing the Hispanic Charity Ball in the fall, but it also provides grants, volunteer opportunities and leadership development.
Alvarado, 41, spent the past seven years as a government relations rep for PG&E in San Jose and has been on the Hispanic Foundation's board for six years. She says she's honored by the opportunity and looking forward to the challenge of leading the organization."
