On board for what’s next – Introducing the Mercy Housing Mountain Plains Board of Directors

In August 2025, we proudly established the Mercy Housing Mountain Plains Board of Directors to provide strategic guidance and oversight for our work across the region. The board will help shape our long-term vision and strategy while ensuring we remain aligned with our mission and responsive to the communities we serve.

We are grateful for the commitment of our 11 founding board members. Their leadership, expertise, and generosity of time will support our continued growth, the expansion of resident services, and efforts to secure philanthropic resources to deepen our impact.

“The Mercy Housing Mountain Plains board’s leadership, expertise and deep connection to our communities will be instrumental in strengthening our impact,” said Shelly Marquez, president of Mercy Housing Mountain Plains. “With this commitment, we are well-positioned to continue expanding opportunities for residents throughout the region.”

“It’s an honor to serve as the inaugural chair of the Mercy Housing Mountain Plains Board of Directors,” said Michael Martinez. “Our board is deeply committed to advancing Mercy Housing’s mission and ensuring more individuals and families have access to stable, affordable homes and the tools needed to thrive.”
