Maria Jose Rodriguez Cadiz, Executive Director, Solace Crisis Treatment Center, Santa Fe

The entire business and human services field is entering a new era of professionalization demand for evidence-based practice, emphasis on development, and quality improvement. These elements require leadership, practice implementation, and foresight of a complex and technical nature. This is a uniquely challenging combination of needed skills. I believe Michele possesses those skills.

Her facilitation skills, her continuing emphasis on creating good standards and learning proactive approaches in her field are the kind agencies that interact with her would gain. They are critical to our community businesses and non-profits.

She is an incredible problem solver and she has contributed ideas to Solace we will forever benefit from.

She is incredibly well organized and tenaciously committed to her work. She possesses an exceptional blend of intellectual skills, a sense of humanity and a solid and robust foundation to do the work she does, which are some of the wonderful qualities that describe her character.
