Dear Friends and Partners,
Today marks my first official day as President & CEO of the Albuquerque Community Foundation and New Mexico Community Trust, and I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead. Over the past months, I’ve had the privilege of listening and learning from many of you: donors, partners, grantees, and community leaders whose insights and commitment continue to affirm that this community is full of heart, innovation, and possibility.
As we begin this journey together, my focus is simple: to listen deeply, build strong partnerships and relationships, and lead with clarity and purpose. Our mission remains unchanged — to bring people and resources together to build a more vibrant, equitable, and resilient community. We do this through an unwavering belief that philanthropy is at its best when it is collaborative, inclusive, and responsive to community voice.
In the year ahead, our focus will be on deepening relationships, expanding impact, and strengthening our foundation from within. This next chapter is about more than what we do, it’s about how we do it, rooted in our values of integrity, trust, equity and accountability, and with a spirit of curiosity and collaboration. The strength of this Foundation lies in the relationships and shared purpose that unite us, and I’m eager to deepen those connections as we move forward together.
Thank you for your partnership, trust, and your belief in what's possible for the greater Albuquerque area and New Mexico. I invite you to join us in shaping what comes next. Whether you’re a longtime partner or newly connected to our work, I would love the opportunity to meet, listen, and learn from you. Your ideas, experiences, and hopes for our community are vital to our shared vision. I look forward to connecting, collaborating, and building a future of bold, collective impact together.

With gratitude and excitement,
