✨ Happy New Year from Digital Advancement for All! ✨

As we step into a new year, I'd like to take a moment to share how grateful I am for every small business owner, community partner, and person who trusted DAFA to support their digital growth this past year.

In the year ahead, DAFA is excited to keep expanding access to technology, building digital skills, and helping communities thrive — both online and off. Here’s to advancing equitable access to technology, more opportunity, and more impact in the year ahead!

That’s a wrap on the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB) Conference! 🙌✨

Day 3 ended with a creative “science fair” 🎉 where different NALCAB programs were on display — such a fun way to learn, connect, and support amazing businesses like DAFA. 💡

The conference closed with a truly inspiring plenary featuring strong Latina leaders, like Juliana Esguerra, who spoke about the evolution of leadership and the importance of staying resilient and mission-driven. 💜 Table connections with orgs like Dutchtown South Community Corporation and Baleras Community Coalition reminded me the power of community for community. Their words were the perfect way to finish three days of growth, connection, and inspiration.

Looking back, I feel so grateful to have had the chance to present, learn, and celebrate with this incredible community. From workshops to mixers to dancing, it’s been a beautiful reminder of why this work matters. 🚀 Can't wait to do it all again next year in San Antonio!

Day 2 at the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB) Conference was amazing! 🙌✨

I had the chance to lead a workshop on the 💻 digital skills training curriculum created through the Rural Prosperity through Digital Access project, with support from US Bank. We walked through 📘 highlights of each course, shared ✅ best practices for putting the curriculum into action, and even got hands-on with some 🎯 activities that learners experience in class. Such a fun and meaningful session to share! 💡💜

The rest of the day brought rich sessions on 🌱 coaching culture in nonprofits, 🔭 strategic vision in action, and 🛠️ best practices — all filled with insights and inspiration.

We wrapped things up with a 🌾 rural mixer, where organizations serving rural, Latino communities connected, networked, and shared ideas. 🤝💬

Day 2 = inspiring, energizing, and full of community spirit. Can’t wait to see what the third and final day brings! 🚀

What an incredible first day at the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB) Conference! 🙌

The day started on such a high note with the amazing MŌRIAH, who spoke and sang two beautiful songs that set the tone for everything that followed. The afternoon was spent diving into sessions on client mapping and advocacy strategies in today’s political climate — so many takeaways to bring back to DAFA's work.

We wrapped up the night with a fun networking reception and plenty of 💃🎶 on the dance floor. It was the perfect way to end a full day of learning and connecting.

And the best part? This is only Day 1 — more to come! ✨

Much of DAFA's work revolves around assessing current technology usage in small businesses to identify how to either strengthen or increase operational efficiencies. This is a lot easier said than done! The first step is to identify a challenge to resolve.
