About the Speaker
Peter Bloch Garcia, Interim Executive Director, Senior Associate, Valtas Group
Peter Bloch Garcia is the son of a Mexican immigrant, and grew up in Yakima, Washington. He began his career as an educator, later becoming a foundation program officer focused on improving education quality and access for students from low-income and BIPOC youth, and empowering them to advocate for systemic change.
When he learned that foundations do not equitably support BIPOC communities, he organized others to form the Latino Community Fund of Washington State, where he served as Board President, Treasurer and Executive Director to steward growth and development of a vitally needed organization. He was instrumental in forming and leading Progreso: Latino Progress, a c4 organization to build political power in the Latino community for more representation and voice at state level issues. His leadership with LCF and Progreso was honored when he received the American Society of Public Administration northwest chapter’s Billy Frank, Jr. Award for Race and Social Justice in 2017.
Peter works to make the world a better place by serving in roles such as Interim Executive Director, Senior Associate with https://www.valtasgroup.com/, and independent consultant. In all his roles, he helps advance the nonprofit sector by improving their internal organizational cultures to achieve desired outcomes based on their values. He facilitates training and workshops on many topics such as leadership, boards, movement building, networks, regenerative leadership, etc. In his spare time, he co-hosts https://www.adelanteleadership.com/ podcast with Tania Hino to encourage more Latino community members to step into leadership and share knowledge from lived experience.
