Erik and Veronica Olson come from very different backgrounds— he from New Jersey and a former Air Force officer, she a third generation New Mexican from a family known for music. But the couple had the same goal when establishing their endowment last year.
“My family has deep roots in the area. This is where we’ve chosen to live, where our businesses are and where we’re raising our kids,” Veronica says. “So anything we can do to better the local community will help us, our kids and our businesses. Albuquerque Community Foundation embodies that goal, too. They are making a local difference.”
