Building a Better Community
Seth’s influence reaches far beyond Morales Group. He serves on the boards of several organizations, including the Indiana Latino Institute and the Central Indiana Community Foundation, where he has spearheaded efforts like an Impact Fund for minority-owned businesses. His involvement in the Business Equity for Indy program and the Hispanic Business Council demonstrates his unwavering commitment to systemic change.
A former Purdue Boilermaker, Seth brings the same tenacity and teamwork to his professional and philanthropic endeavors.
Seth was also named one of the IBJ’s Forty Under 40, which recognizes young professionals who have demonstrated leadership, initiative, and dedication in their fields. This accolade is significant as it highlights Seth’s ability to influence both the business world and the community at a relatively young age, positioning him as a forward-thinking leader in Indiana.
