About Us

The concept of a Hispanic association was born after a group of Hispanic-Americans converged at an annual Hispanic festival in Huntsville, Alabama. Mrs. Rosie Douglas founded the Hispanic festival to kick off the official celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. The group envisioned an organization that would improve the educational and economic opportunities amongst Hispanics in North Alabama.

In September of 2002, the group incorporated as a nonprofit organization and became officially known as the Alabama Hispanic Association. The Association continues to host annual Hispanic Festivals but today it encompasses many cultural activities as well as programs that provide needed services to Hispanics in North Alabama.

Mission Statement: The Alabama Hispanic Association (AHA) fosters the welfare of the Hispanic community in Huntsville and surrounding counties by identifying services and resources available in the community, providing educational services, promoting cultural awareness, and bridging the gap between the Hispanic community and the community at-large.
