Amplify Latinx co-founder has been named its new CEO

Amplify Latinx has named one of its co-founders as its first CEO and has planned a statewide expansion that is expected to more than double its staff this year. She said the organization plans to expand both geographically and in its scope of services in the coming year. It plans to release a legislative agenda later this month that will highlight its priorities. An annual revenue budget in the low six figures has grown today to $2.5 million, and Amplify plans to grow from four full-time employees today to 10 by the end of the year. 'I feel like we're only scratching the surface.' But her husband and close advisers told her she was perfect for the job. She decided to take it. She later modeled Latina Circle in Boston after a similar professionals group created by some of her friends in Miami. They'll start with planned new offices this year in Lawrence and Springfield, then consider a potential move beyond Massachusetts. 'And when there's a need, there's an opportunity.'
