Hazel Alonzo

About Me

My name is Hazel Alonzo, and I am running for the office of President.

In my tenure as President for AFT1521A from the term 2020-2023, I have participated and represented the membership as a voting member for the Joint Labor Management Benefits Committee (JLMBC), Executive Committee of the District Budget Committee (ECDBC), District Budget Committee (DBC), and Co-Chief Negotiator of the 2020-2023 Negotiations Team. I have continuously served as a committee member for the Council of Classified Employees (CCE) at the national level, garnishing more attention towards classified needs at the community college level. And lastly, I am also very proud and honored to currently serve as A Union of Educators & Classified Professionals (CFT) Vice President for the term of 2023-2025. In the pool of 24 CFT Vice Presidents for all of California, only 4 are within the ranks of classified staff, only 2 being within the community colleges and it is a great privilege to serve in this coveted role.

My goal as President is to strengthen the fight for equity and equality for all Unit 1 members. I will strive for unity, ensuring that our voices are heard as one, and together we will be an unstoppable voice. I am here for all of you, as a fellow member and an advocate for our fights against the administration.

I promise to be a President who listens, acts, and delivers. Your concerns will always be my top priority, never wavering with my convictions and fortitude. Together, we can build a stronger, more integrated union and as such, I am committed to working tirelessly for each and every one of you.

Join me on this journey.

I humbly ask for your vote to serve as your President once again.

In Strength and Unity!

Hazel Alonzo for President
