Alfredo Reyes is the proud son of Mexican immigrants and a proud Denverite born-and-raised on the Westside. Alfredo is currently the Executive Director of the Latino Cultural Arts Center (LCAC), a project he helped conceptualize that integrates social impact with economic empowerment to the benefit of artists, educators, youth, and families. He also served as the Co-Chair of the Commission of Cultural Affairs at Denver Arts and Venues. His expertise spans fundraising, pedagogy, politics, real estate activation, youth development and community-building, among others. He is a graduate of Denver Public Schools and the recipient of the prestigious Gates Millennium Scholarship, which funded 10 years of undergraduate and graduate studies. Alfredo earned a B.A. from The Colorado College in Political Science and Spanish. He received a professional certificate in Mediation at the University of Denver before achieving an M.A. in Educational Foundations, Policy and Practice from CU Boulder, School of Education, and then spending three years in a doctoral program at UC Santa Cruz in Education Research. With his free time, Alfredo loves to ride his Bianchi road bike, travel (to over 15 countries so far!), cook, create art, and spend time with his loved ones.
