NEW ERA: Indian Pueblo Cultural Center names Monique Fragua as CEO

 

 

Monique Fragua was named CEO of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. She will begin on April 1.

On Jan. 21, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center announced Monique Fragua will be stepping into the role of president and CEO of IPCC and Indian Pueblos Marketing Inc.

Fragua, a member of the Pueblo of Jemez, currently serves as IPCC and IPMI’s chief operating officer.

Mike Canfield will retire after 14 years as the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center CEO on March 31.

Fragua will be transitioning into the role of CEO upon the retirement of current President and CEO Mike Canfield with her official first day being April 1. The pair will be working closely over the coming months to ensure the transition of leadership is smooth and seamless.

Canfield, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and a Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce Board member, became the president and CEO in 2011.

Under his visionary leadership, Canfield has overseen the total transformation of the former Albuquerque Indian School campus into a central hub for business and culture in the region.

“It has been my absolute privilege to have been an integral part of these organizations for the past 30 years. I count it my highest honor to have been able to serve our 19 Pueblo communities and contribute to the growth here for as long as I have,” Canfield said. “I will always hold this campus close to my heart and be grateful for what it has given me and my family. I am truly thankful to the board and our team who have always supported me.”

Fragua is known for her deep familiarity with the organization and understanding of the delicate balance between honoring Pueblo culture and pursuing sustainable growth for IPCC/IPMI’s enterprises will ensure that the organizations remain aligned with the mission set forth by the 19 Pueblos.
