“Our annual Latino heritage event at Borough Hall recognizes and celebrates the unique contributions of the Latino community to the great borough of Brooklyn,” Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said during October’s Office of the Brooklyn Borough President’s Hispanic Heritage Month event where it honored various local leaders of Latino Heritage.

A total of nine people were honored on Thursday, October 17, including two Mastermind Connect members — co-founder Manny Almonte and David Lopez — for being outstanding public servants and great philanthropists impacting Brooklyn. “I have always said that our borough’s diversity is our strength, and the roster of honorees we recognized last night is a testament to that,” boasted President Adams.
