President's Message

Seguimos avanzando juntos!

Welcome to The New York Dominican Officers Organization (NYDO). As we continue building on the strong foundation laid in previous years, we step into this new chapter with renewed purpose, unity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

This year marks an exciting step forward for NYDO as we expand our reach and deepen our impact. Through our collaboration with Goya, we are proud to create new opportunities to serve our community by helping provide food to those in need. This partnership reflects our continued mission not only to support initiatives abroad, but to stand present and active right here in New York City, ensuring that the communities we serve have access to essential resources and support.

While we remain fully committed to our annual school supply initiative in the Dominican Republic, we recognize the growing needs within our own neighborhoods. NYDO is dedicated to answering that call extending our service, compassion, and commitment to families here at home. Guided by faith and our shared values, we move forward with a renewed sense of purpose, embracing this year’s theme:

Dios, Patria, Libertad.

We are also excited to introduce newly designed NYDO merchandise, including hoodies, T-shirts, challenge coins, and more. These items represent more than just pride in our organization, they symbolize unity, identity, and the continued growth of NYDO.

Our Mentorship Program will remain a cornerstone of our development, empowering the next generation of leaders within our ranks. By fostering guidance, leadership, and opportunity, we ensure that the legacy of NYDO continues to thrive for years to come.

As we look ahead, we do so with faith, strength, and determination. With God’s promise to guide us in helping those in need, we remain committed to uplifting our members, supporting our communities, and honoring the values that define who we are.

Thank you for your continued dedication and support as we move forward together.

Sincerely,
Randy R. Mercado
President
The New York Dominican Officers Organization (NYDO)
