IAVA proudly celebrated Zach McIlwain Leadership Fellow Alex Ortiz, J.D., who was honored at LATINO Magazine’s annual Estrella Awards, hosted at the Army and Navy Club in Washington, D.C.

The Estrella Awards recognize outstanding advocates, public figures, and elected leaders who have made a lasting impact as champions for the Latino community. Alex’s recognition reflects his steadfast leadership, dedication to advocacy, and continued commitment to serving both the veteran community and beyond.

His work exemplifies the mission-driven leadership fostered through IAVA’s fellowship programs, and this honor underscores the powerful influence of veteran voices in shaping stronger, more inclusive communities.

IAVA extends its appreciation to T-Mobile for inviting Alex and our organization to be part of this meaningful celebration
