Our Staff

Maria Elena Jonas
President & CEO
I started serving the Latino Community in 1987 while working for Catholic Charities helping with immigration and in the 90s I assisted Latino Leaders in the Community open 80 daycares with Child Services.
After 15 years I opened HACES to provide Citizenship, Immigration, and Health navigation resources to the community. There is still a need to give power to our people, this is only the beginning.
