cecilia-munoz The National Alliance for Hispanic Families congratulates Ceclia Muñoz on her new post as Director of President Obama's Domestic Policy Council. Ms. Muñoz has served as the White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs and has been at the forefront of the President's effort to reform the nation's immigration policies. President Obama applauds her for doing an "extraordinary job working on behalf of middle class families."

While we know Ms. Muñoz will serve all Americans in her new position, we are thankful to know she understands the unique and acute struggles and challenges faced by our Latino community. Her job will not be easy, but we look forward to supporting her, and wish her every success.

Our friend and colleague, Dr. Luis Zayas, joined The University of Texas at Austin last week as its new Dean of the School of Social Work. We wish him luck as he begins this new facet of his career. Dr. Zayas takes with him a fresh perspective on social work as well as a real understanding of the Latino community and its culture. He calls this new post the "highlight" of his career, and the University of Texas Provost, Steven Leslie, says his "appointment will bring great leadership and recognition to our School of Social Work and to the university." The University of Texas at Austin is the flagship institution of the University of Texas System, and is ranked in the top 25 among American research universities.

Dr. Zayas will continue as the chairman of the NAHF research committee, where he has been able to confirm through his studies the importance of families within the Hispanic community. In recently published research on Latina suicide, for example, he offered a model for understanding and working with young Latinas and their families to reduce suicide attempts.

Dr. Zayas leaves the Washington University in St. Louis where he was the Shanti K. Khinduka Distinguished Professor of Social Work at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work and professor of psychiatry in the School of Medicine, as well as the director of the Center for Latino Family Research.
