New Head of NM MLK, Jr. Commission on Group’s Future

6.13.25 – In March, the New Mexico Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission named Dannelle Kirven as its new executive director. This week, Kirven stopped by the studio for a conversation with Lou about her group’s work in 2025, at a time when the federal government has explicitly targeted initiatives that focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. Also, she tells us how the organization is moving past a 2018 financial scandal.
