Mission

The mission of the Avenida Guadalupe Association is to economically transform the lives of the Avenida neighborhood residents and businesses.

We will accomplish this by: Empowering our Community, Developing our Commerce, and Honoring our Culture.

Vision

Our vision is to revitalize the physical, cultural, and economic conditions of the Avenida Guadalupe Neighborhood. The AGA believes that a neighborhood’s economic vitality is critical to ensuring its people a high quality of life. As such, the work of the AGA is predicated upon aggressive economic and housing development efforts in hopes of urban renewal.

An informal document written by our first President, Mr. Eugenio Macias, found in the archives of the AGA show the basic precepts under which the AGA was founded in 1979 and which still hold true today:

1. Put faith in God, and it will be done.
2. Do not repeat the mistakes of the past.
3. Find the problems, determine the solutions, and plan.
4. Establish goals, not timetables. Remember that patience is rewarded.
5. Establish dignity, integrity, and a reputation beyond reproach.
6. Go after small amounts and establish a track record.
7. Go after large amounts and get things done.
8. Be grateful for what God provides.

Motto: When God walks with you, the achievable can be achieved. When you walk with God, the unachievable (the impossible) will be achieved.
