New York State Association of
Latino Superintendents & Administrators
Generating wings to success for Latino educators and the students we serve throughout the state of New York.
About NYSALAS
The New York State Association of Latino Superintendents and Administrators (NYSALAS) was formally established in the summer of 2019 by a visionary group of Latino superintendents and administrators.
We met to discuss the structure, philosophy, and goals of forming a New York affiliate of the national organization, ALAS. Our mission is to advocate for aspiring and current Latino and Latina administrators by promoting best practices, professional learning, communication, and networking.
We serve as the professional organization for educational leaders across New York—Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, Principals, Directors, and aspiring leaders.
