“I express gratitude to the Santa Fe Community Foundation Board of Directors and staff for the honor of receiving this year’s Tried & True Piñon Award. We are delighted with the acknowledgement that our college and museum are essential contributors to Santa Fe Community’s vibrant nonprofit sector. This award represents a tribute to IAIA’s board of trustees, faculty, staff, and especially our students and alumni,” IAIA President Dr. Robert Martin (Cherokee Nation) said.
As part of the recognition, IAIA will receive $5,000 in unrestricted funds from the Santa Fe Community Foundation with underwriting support from Enterprise Bank & Trust. IAIA was selected as an awardee from over 60-plus organizations nominated by 90 people.
