Board of Directors

Cathy Weber-Colvin, President - Cathy Weber stumbled across Los Cerrillos when she ventured off Hwy 14 to quench her thirst at Mary’s Bar and grab a candy bar at Simoni’s Store. Wandering into the What-Not-Shop and the Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Museum, she was enchanted by the residents’ unique candor and the village’s quiet beauty. Cathy moved to the village in 1992 and soon met Jesse Colvin, a fellow vagabond Southerner. They courted, married, and raised their two children (not necessarily in that order) in Cerrillos. Cathy was a founding board member of Las Candelas de Los Cerrillos which helped in the original acquisition of the County Park that became the Cerrillos Hills State Park.
Yolanda Sandoval, Secretary -
Kim Davis - For Kim, it was love at first sight with the Cerrillos Hills State Park. Originally from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Kim moved to Santa Fe in 2020. She immediately became an avid hiker, trail runner, and all around adventurer. However, out of all the beautiful places in New Mexico, her heart belongs to the Cerrillos Hills. She is honored to be able to serve the park she loves so much through promoting the park on social media and working with the rest of the Amigos.
Tamara Stewart - Tamara has been hiking the Cerrillos hills and appreciating the diverse landscapes of the Galisteo Basin since she moved to the area in the 1990s. As an archaeologist, she has worked on independent contracts throughout northern New Mexico and currently for a national, non-profit preservation organization. She’s excited to help with Cerrillos Hills Park events and educational programs, a very special place with a long, fascinating history.
Sara Hinze - I’m excited to partner with the Amigos to develop projects and partnerships for our village, specifically in caring for our state park. This March, I’m now on two years living in the beautiful village of Cerrillos. It was a dream of mine to live in New Mexico permanently and finally one of my dreams is fulfilled. Some of my passions are: painting, exploring, gardening, creating, fixing, and down time with my own three furry amigos who keep me on my toes every day. I feel fortunate to have these three little beings surrounding me every day.
Patricia Brown - Patricia came to Cerrillos in 1971 and enjoys a peaceful life in the village. Both she and her husband run the Casa Grande Trading Post and Mining Museum at the west end of the village. They mine and work local turquoise from their mining claims. They both have been active in the park since 1998 when Santa Fe County bought a large tract of land for open space. Pat has volunteered on the board numerous times and wants to see the park succeed in drawing local and other visitors to the beautiful Cerrillos Hills.

Steve Talbot, Treasurer (non-board member) - Steve Talbot has enjoyed hiking in the Cerrillos Hills Park since first moving to the area in 2005. He is happy to use his new degree in accounting and has served 12 years volunteering for the state park and the Amigos.
