FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD

Dear Reader,

Life is rich in the City Different!

Whatever your motivation for browsing this 2019 Santa Fe Community Profile & Membership Directory, I invite you to consider everything that Santa Fe has to offer, from our multicultural diversity, inclusive community, rich artistic heritage and hospitality traditions; to our thriving small business economy, vibrant nonprofit community and state, county and city government organizations; to our ideal four-season climate, endless blue skies, the world’s greatest sunsets and the cleanest air in the country.

As owner of The Hire Firm, which helps businesses recruit and staff the employees that make them successful, I have a clear view on the recent growth of Santa Fe businesses in sectors as diverse as real estate, hospitality, health care, education, nonprofit, software, retail, manufacturing and construction. It has been equally exciting to witness the effect our growing businesses and strong local economy have had on the employees who live and work here.

I moved to Santa Fe in 2001 for graduate school at St. John’s College, fell in love with New Mexico and stayed to build my life and family here. The Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce has been a part of it all. Through my involvement with the Chamber, I have met and kept in touch with clients, found service providers that have helped my business grow, made friends and been introduced to many of the people and experiences that continue to enrich my life every day.

I hope you, too, find what you’re looking for in Santa Fe. Look me up when you do!
