Through these opportunities she was able to learn more about the Down Syndrome Foundation. When we approached her to be a board member she was more than happy to join us. “Although I have only served on the board for a short time, I can see how this experience will provide positive influences to help me grow both personally and professionally. It is a is an amazing organization and is a tremendous benefit to the community.”

Alexis Davalos- Secretary “I am Alexis, I am 29 years old. I have three children, Abraham 14, Christian 11, Kailey 9 and a 4th on the way. We moved to Roswell because my husband Luis was offered a dairy management job. I have worked from home and have been a stay at home mom since we have been married. We moved from Portales where both of our parents still live. I stumbled upon the Down Syndrome Foundation by pure luck and have enjoyed being a part of the wonderful program and look forward to more!”
Andrew Lewis A huge accomplishment for our foundation came when Andrew, a self-advocate, accepted our invitation to join the Board of Directors. Not only is this a huge step for us all as a family but it is an incredible feat to have first hand input from one of the many we serve. We are hugely grateful and excited to see what this adventure brings. If you see Andrew around, please congratulate him and thank him for joining us!
Nick Nanz We are excited to announce Nick, one of our self-advocate parents from Ruidoso has joined the Board of Directors. This will open great doors to not only help our Board with another parent, but it also helps us have a source for our board in the Ruidoso area. Branching out and having the opportunity to grow the reach of our foundation is one of the many parts to our mission. If you see him around, please congratulate him!
