Thank You Note: NACHW Ambassador Appointment

I am deeply honored to have been elected as an Ambassador for the National Association of Community Health Workers (NACHW), representing the incredible CHWs of Rhode Island.

This role is more than a title—it is a reflection of my life’s purpose. Since I was young, I have always felt called to serve others—whether it was supporting family, neighbors, or my faith community.

As an immigrant in the United States, I faced many challenges: language barriers, cultural adjustments, isolation, and navigating unfamiliar systems. But through it all, I held on to one vision—that one day, once I had learned the language, understood the culture, and secured stable work, I would give back to the very community that helped me grow and thrive.

Today, that dream continues to come true. I am committed to working hard as part of the NACHW team to uplift, advocate, and fight for the rights of CHWs across cities and states throughout the U.S.

Thank you for this opportunity. I carry this responsibility with pride, humility, and determination. Together, we will make our voices heard.

With gratitude,
 

Lina Roman/ CCHW, SUPERVISOR, MHFA,and TRAINER.

Nota de Agradecimiento: Nombramiento como Embajador de NACHW.-

Estoy profundamente honrado de haber sido elegido como Embajador de la Asociación Nacional de Trabajadores de Salud Comunitaria (NACHW), representando a los increíbles TSC de Rhode Island.Este rol es más que un título—es un reflejo del propósito de mi vida. Desde joven, siempre he sentido el llamado de servir a los demás—ya sea apoyando a mi familia, vecinos o mi comunidad de fe.Como inmigrante en los Estados Unidos, enfrenté muchos desafíos: barreras idiomáticas, ajustes culturales, aislamiento y la navegación por sistemas desconocidos. Pero a pesar de todo, mantuve una visión—que algún día, una vez que hubiera aprendido el idioma, entendido la cultura y asegurado un trabajo estable, podría retribuir a la misma comunidad que me ayudó a crecer y prosperar.Hoy, ese sueño continúa haciéndose realidad. Estoy comprometido a trabajar arduamente como parte del equipo de NACHW para elevar, abogar y luchar por los derechos de los TSC en ciudades y estados de todo Estados Unidos.

Gracias por esta oportunidad. Llevo esta responsabilidad con orgullo, humildad y determinación. Juntos, haremos que nuestras voces se escuchen.

 Con gratitud,

 Lina Roman/ CCHW, SUPERVISORA, MHFA y ENTRENADORA.
