Alfred Diaz-Infante Award

OVERVIEW

The Alfred Diaz-Infante Award honors the spirit of Alfred Diaz-Infante, a community leader and nonprofit executive who created partnerships to elevate the Latino community in Monterey County. The award was created by the Siembra Latinos Fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC) in 2023 in partnership with Alfred’s family. “Siembra” means “to sow” and Alfred sowed seeds of goodwill and progress along his path, leaving this community better than he found it. This annual award honors Alfred’s work and legacy by recognizing individuals who work in a collaborative way to make positive change for the Latino community.
