September at ALPFA Phoenix is about community, celebrating our ALPFAmilia, and looking ahead.

From a free family-friendly day on the golf course, to empowering Latino founders through our first ever pitch competition, and more, this month is designed to bring community together.

Each experience is different. The outcome is the same: stronger connections, deeper community, and momentum that carries forward.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to reconnect with your community, this is it. We’ll see you there.💙

From building new connections and learning from Latino leaders across the country to celebrating our community and representing Phoenix on a national stage, the 2026 ALPFA Convention gave us plenty to bring home.

We came back inspired, connected, and ready for what’s next. 🤎

And if you ask us? Being part of ALPFA Phoenix is very chic ✨.

We’re headed to National Convention! ✈️🎉
From August 9–13, the ALPFAmilia will come together in Charlotte, North Carolina, for five days of professional development, networking, career opportunities, and connection at the 2026 ALPFA Convention.
