IFMA Louisiana Golf Tournament
Save the Date for the IFMA Louisiana Golf Tournament on November 2, 2026 at Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club
October Member of the Month: Alex Velasquez, Chief Rainmaker at Legacy Consulting Group
Alex Velasquez is the Chief Rainmaker at Legacy Consulting Group, where he helps medium and large organizations cut their garbage hauling and recycling costs. It is a specialized niche, and Alex has made a real name for himself in it by helping clients find savings most never knew were possible.
Alex is quick to credit this chapter for his success. In fact, he points to his IFMA Baton Rouge Chapter membership as the direct reason he was able to secure clients like The Advocate and NASA. It is a powerful reminder of what these connections can do for our careers.
Alex has been a member of the IFMA Baton Rouge Chapter since 2004, making him one of our longest-standing members. He joined after an invitation from then President Brad Way, and he has been a part of the chapter family ever since. Over the years, his favorite memories include traveling to half a dozen national IFMA conferences and serving on the Board for several years.
Outside of work, Alex keeps things refreshingly simple. As he puts it, there is nothing better than watching old movies and playing board games with his family.
Alex’s advice: “We’re all the same. Clients, prospects, vendors. We all have the same goals, and we all have the same fears. So be honest, be sincere, and be patient. And mostly, be there.”
