Her civil service career began years earlier, when she served as a clerk within various divisions of the U.S. War Department in 1918 and 1919 and later as a deputy collector for the Internal Revenue Service in the 1920s. During her tenure as State Representative, LaFond Altieri sponsored bills to aid dependent children and blind individuals, and she introduced the Civil Service Act in 1936. She was active on many legislative committees and helped to organize the first old age program in the state. After leaving office, she returned to local civic duty in North Smithfield and Woonsocket, where she focused her attention on health and public welfare issues. In 1961, she was appointed North Smithfield Public Welfare Director, a position she held until 1968. The papers of Alice LaFond Altieri include correspondence, scrapbooks, clippings, speeches, reports, and other documents reflecting her lifetime of political, civic, and charitable activities.
