It is with profound heartbreak that the NewMexicoWomen.Org Board and staff share the passing of Sarah Ghiorse, our beloved and longtime President and CEO. We know Sarah’s community reaches both far and wide, and this news will be painful to many.
More than anything, Sarah’s leadership was rooted in and guided by love—love of her family, her colleagues and Board, her communities, and our beautiful state. Sarah was the heart and the hearth of our organization. We are grieving and celebrating our dearest Sarah. We hope to carefully steward what she built and what she loved. She remains alive in our work and in our spirits.

In times of transition and turmoil, Sarah’s orientation was to move closer to one another. We ask that you hold each other and our collective work close, with care and in community
