About Dr. Ervin Caraballo:
Dr. Caraballo was a driving force in HACE’s programming and growing impact on the Latino/a/x/e community. He served on the Board of Directors from 1996 through 2003, provided leadership and guidance as a member for the 25th anniversary committee in 2007. In 2013, he led HACE’s efforts in the research and publication of the HACE/Pulse Survey. In 2015, Vinny helped shape HACE’s vision for the future by participating in the Strategic Planning Committee. Above all, he served as a mentor and role model to HACE’s current President & CEO, Patricia Mota. He embodied HACE’s mission and his leadership, guidance, and presence are greatly missed.
