But leadership alone is not enough

Leadership deserves an institution

Without institutions to recognize it, connect it, preserve it, and invest in it, leadership can remain isolated, overlooked, or forgotten.

That is why ALX exists.

The ALX Pyramid

We thank artist and 2024 ALX100 Honoree Patiño Vazquez as well as Fred Fowler and John Franklin for their work on the ALX100 Pyramid, which represents the three shared prosperity pillars of ALX’s work: Business, Leadership, and Policy.

Traditionally, pyramids represent balance, transformation, and connection. This piece symbolizes the unity and strength of our community and how the contributions of our ALX100 honorees are interconnected with the whole.

Each year the sculpture travels to some of Massachusetts’ most iconic cultural institutions. At the conclusion of the tour each honoree will receive their piece of the sculpture, engraved with their name and the year of their recognition, to serve as a reminder of their individual achievements and their integral role in our community.

Once ALX100. Always ALX100.

Every class makes the institution stronger.

When leadership is remembered, connected, and invested in, it inspires generations to come.

Each year, a new class expands the permanent historical record of leaders whose contributions have strengthened Massachusetts across every sector, serving not only today’s leaders but also future generations seeking to understand whose shoulders they stand upon.

Every class makes the institution stronger.

Every story makes the legacy richer.

Every leader expands what is possible for those who follow.

Leadership is not only the legacy we leave.

It is the institution we build together and the opportunities we create for those who follow.

Because institutions preserve what history often overlooks.

ALX100 is Massachusetts’ permanent civic archive of Latino leadership, documenting the individuals whose vision, innovation, public service, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement have helped shape the economic, cultural, and public life of the Commonwealth.
