¡HOLA! employee network group

The ¡HOLA! (Hispanic Organization for Leadership and Advancement) employee network group (ENG) focuses on attracting, retaining and empowering RSM’s Hispanic and Latino/a employees with the resources, relationships and skills they need to grow their careers and deliver exceptional client service. ¡HOLA! has a strong focus on mentorship, networking and business development to help enhance firm growth.

RSM continues to sponsor ALPFA (Association of Latino Professionals for America) and their national convention. Each summer, we send RSM ambassadors to the convention for professional development, networking, business development and recruiting. ¡HOLA! members have access to a firm-paid membership to ALPFA.

The award was established in memory of Flavio Castillo, a partner in the financial services assurance practice in the Chicago office, who passed away unexpectedly in March 2016. He was instrumental in creating a vision for ¡HOLA! and worked diligently to advance the ENG's mission. Known for his passion for achieving excellence, Flavio worked to empower Hispanic and Latino/a employees with skills, relationships and resources they need to grow their careers at RSM.

In Flavio's honor, the ¡HOLA! ENG awards $5,000 to someone who is pursuing excellence in their personal and professional life each year. The recipient is also asked to choose a charitable organization, aligned with the RSM US Foundation’s mission, to receive a $2,500 donation.
