“It is simply impossible to adequately describe the positive impact Dr. Roth has had on the well-being of people in our community,” said Chamber President and CEO Terri Cole. “He has been a visionary on health care in New Mexico, a steady and effective leader of our flagship university, and a long-time backer of the Chamber and its mission. We wish him every joy that retirement can bring.”
