Thank you for visiting my website!
My name is Fidel Acevedo. I have been a grassroots activist and LULAC member since 2000. We are going on three years of dealing with this pandemic. It has been challenging for many of us. This year we face our biggest challenge-getting back to some kind of normalcy. We can do it together.
We are LULAC Strong!
About Me
Brief Bio
I have been a Travis County resident since 1969. I was born in Levelland and raised in New Braunfels, Texas. I have been married to Maria Acevedo, my one true love for 54 years. We have three children and six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
This native Texan also served five years active duty in the United States Army, during the Vietnam era as a combat medic, fifteen years in the Texas Army National Guard, and retired as Sergeant First Class. While in the army, I was an instructor for basic first aid classes and I also ran the dispensary.
Between 1966 and 1968, I worked for Boeing in Seattle, WA, and in 1969 I started a successful career with IBM and retired 27 years later as a Facility Engineering Installation Coordinator.
I am past District Director of District XII. I have been a member of District 5 for six years and a member of District 7 for two years. I am a founding member and current member of District XII. I was appointed as State Parliamentarian for two years. I was appointed Legislative Chair for 4 years. In 2016 District XII was selected and honored to be the next LULAC National Education Service Center (LNESC).
We are LULAC Strong!
