Progress321

Thank you so much to Max Villaronga, CEO, Raiz Federal Credit Union for sharing his story and advice with Progressors in our region! Join us for our next conversation on June 18!

Tonight’s 2026 ChangeMakers Celebration is a true showcase of the talent, creativity, and cultural richness of our region! ✨

In the auditorium, experience “Seasons” by El Paso Ballet Theatre, a beautiful display of discipline and artistry, alongside the powerful and accessible performances of El Paso Opera. Be inspired by the rising energy of The Small Things—young artists already making waves—and the dynamic, movement-based presentation “Find Your Flow” by Dr. Tiffany Tajiri, blending psychology, dance, and self-expression. 🎭🎶

In the Blackbox Theatre, dive into impactful storytelling with Homesick by Valeria Contreras, a powerful film from Femme Frontera: Ternura Radical by Celina Galici, and a tribute to the extraordinary legacy of Rosa Guerrero, honoring her lifelong impact on cultural awareness and the arts. 🎬

Throughout the evening, enjoy live music from Jez of the PIE Sisters, the violin duo of Lea Sotelo and Daniela Montemayor from El Paso Pro-Musica, Las Flautistas from El Paso Pro-Musica, and Catarina Entertainment—each bringing energy, soul, and connection to the celebration. 🎤🎻
