ALPFA-DC Post Holiday Event

The traditional winter holidays a came and went. The Nation installed a new President and celebrated it grandly. Last Friday was ALPFA-DC’s turn and we had a fantastic post-holiday celebration. The event was hosted by Freddie Mac at its McLean, VA facilities and over 50 ALPFA-DC members and friends participated. This was a lively event with live music, warm appetizers, and cold beverages.

Attendees included several University of Maryland students and a good number of faces I had not seen in a while. It was a great opportunity to introduce our Chapter to potential new members and catch-up with old friends. A number of attendees also had the opportunity to meet with Freddie Mac recruiters to discuss job opportunities. Best of luck to all of them!

Thank you to Kia Silver, John Stickeler, and the rest of the Freddie Mac recruiting team for the hard work and for helping us make this event a successful one. Also special thanks to ALPFA-DC Board members Marie Ruiz, Gabriela Silva, and Camila Lorca for planning the event and coordinating with Freddie Mac.
