Loretta was a former Board member at the Chamber prior to being named President/CEO in the mid-1990s. Loretta was a leader, a visionary, bold and well-liked, as well as politically connected. Loretta started the conversation about constructing a building for the chamber and she wanted it in the heart of the Hispanic community – historic Barelas.
There were many moving pieces, many players, and very complex financing. Loretta steered all of it, brought it all together and made it happen. The grand opening took place on August 15th, 2001, with President George W. Bush as the keynote. In 2004 Loretta was offered a key leadership position as President at Qwest New Mexico.
Loretta was one of the visionaries and a key leader as the National Hispanic Cultural Center was formed and she was one of the founders and chairs of the Hispano Round Table. Loretta was also a key player/supporter as the Sandia Science and Technology Park was created and she was the Chair of that Board.
Loretta was truly a role model for women and all Hispanics. Loretta and husband Ray of 55 years have three children and four grandchildren.
