The ABQ Accent

Marisa Magallanez, President & CEO of the Albuquerque Community Foundation and New Mexico Community Trust.
 
Marisa brings more than 20 years of experience in the nonprofit sector to this sweet, inspiring conversation. Two weeks into her new role as CEO, she reflected on her personal search for purpose and how she hopes to carry what she has discovered forward with local and state-wide community.
Marisa’s sense of possibility and hope for lasting impact perfectly compliment the vision of the Foundation she now leads, and in this episode you’ll hear how these are truly powering their work in community and with partners. You’ll also see the importance of community voice in the evolution of philanthropy, why Marisa believes in philanthropy so deeply, and how she renews her gratitude and presence.  Enjoy learning more about Marisa’s growth into leadership, the role of romanticism in her creativity, and why you shouldn’t ignore that feeling of “knowing.”
