Thank You for Leading with Heart: Honoring our 2025 Board Members

As we wrap up 2025, we want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated leaders who served on the boards of the Paso del Norte Community Foundation and the Paso del Norte Health Foundation this year. Your time, expertise, and commitment to our mission have helped move important work forward. Our work strengthens communities, supports nonprofit partners, and improves quality of life across our region.

We are especially grateful to our 2025 Board Chairs, Ernesto Avila (PdNCF) and Amy Marcus (PdNHF) for your thoughtful and dedicated leadership. Your guidance has helped us navigate a year of meaningful impact, and your steady hand has shaped the direction of both Foundations in lasting ways.

To our outgoing board members of the Paso del Norte Community Foundation—Leonard Tripper Goodman III, L. Frederick “Rick” Francis, Caroline North, Richard Moore, and Judy Robison—and to our outgoing board members of the Paso del Norte Health Foundation—Dr. Annette Cordova-Hoy and Joseph Bocanegra—thank you so much. Your leadership, insight, and steadfast belief in the power of collective good have left an indelible mark on our region. We are deeply grateful for the time, care, and vision you’ve shared with us. Your impact will be felt for years to come.

On behalf of our staff, partners, and the communities we serve, thank you for your leadership and dedication.
