Julio Salazar is an Underwriter in the Employee Benefits Division at Alliant, where he has been a valued team member for eight years. He plays a key role in the Tribal space, a complex and unique sector, and brings extensive experience working with Public Entities. As a father, Hispanic Heritage Month holds special significance to him. “My kids are bi-racial, and it’s crucial for me that they grow up proud of their Hispanic heritage. Hispanic Heritage Month offers a valuable opportunity for them to connect with our rich culture and community. At Alliant, my involvement in the Alliant Insurance Foundation (AIF) Fellows Program aligns with this goal. This three-summer fellowship provides underrepresented students with rotational experiences across various departments. As a mentor, I have focused on helping my first-year fellow develop essential business skills, while sharing career insights and the strengths of our company culture. This mentorship not only supports their professional growth but also reinforces the importance of representation and community connection.” #HispanicHeritageMonth #AlliantInsurance #DiversityandInclusion

Janet Paragas has been a valued member of Alliant since 2017. In her roles as Operations Project Coordinator and Executive Assistant, she plays a pivotal role in streamlining day-to-day operations and managing the schedules of East Region leadership. For Janet, Hispanic Heritage Month inspires a deep sense of pride. “My parents moved from Puerto Rico to New York City with very little, but they instilled in us the importance of family and hard work. Their dedication, along with moments of joy like family dinners and salsa dancing, taught us to proudly celebrate our heritage. It’s a blessing to share our culture with my biracial Puerto Rican and Filipino children, and I’m grateful for how my heritage has shaped me. I appreciate Alliant’s leadership for supporting my growth and the Latinos at Alliant employee resource group for providing valuable connections and community. As a proud Nuyorican (New York and Puerto Rican) I am excited to celebrate this month and beyond! ¡Wepa!” #HispanicHeritageMonth #AlliantInsurance #DiversityandInclusion

Robert J. Ortega, ARM, CIC, CRIS is an Account Manager Lead for Alliant’s Construction Services Group in Los Angeles, with over 8 years of experience in the retail brokerage field, specializing in complex insurance programs. For Robert, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to reflect on generational resilience. “This month is a reminder of the sacrifices not only my parents have made, but the sacrifices made by their parents and grandparents before them. It’s a reminder of every generation’s endeavor to give their offspring access to better opportunities – without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Externally, I am on the board of LiNC-LA (Latinos in Insurance Networking for our Community), a Hispanic non-profit based out of Los Angeles, and Alliant has been a key sponsor every year since I’ve joined. Internally, Alliant has invested countless hours in my growth - from our Emerging Leaders Program to our Career Compass Incubator, allowing me to get increased exposure and visibility within the organization.” #HispanicHeritageMonth #AlliantInsurance #DiversityandInclusion
