President

Laura is a busy farm wife and mother to two teenagers. “Helping single mothers through a challenging time in their life, feels right to me. I want to empower mothers to be the strong example their children can look up to.”

Vice President

Noreen is the Area Director and Business Services Trainer for the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions. While not originally from New Mexico, Noreen chose to come back to the roots her great grandparents made. “I feel that strong family unit can overcome any obstacle when given the chance, and Haven of Hope offers a pathway to families to flourish. We help to pave the way of success for future generations to come.”

Treasurer

Pat recently retired from HollyFrontier in July 2020 and has lived here in Artesia since 1987. “Being asked to help with a cause close to my heart, provided me with an opportunity to volunteer the skills I have learned over the years. I was a single mom, and I knew firsthand the struggles and what a difference a helping hand and education could mean.”
