Commissioner Veronica Medina was born in Craig, Colorado. Veronica and her husband Mauricio, moved to Archuleta County in 2014 to care for her parents. Veronica is a mother of 5 boys and a “Nana” of 14 grandchildren.

Veronica is the first Hispanic/Jicarilla Apache woman to be an elected Archuleta County Commissioner. Veronica’s work life experience includes Human Resources manager, Realtor, Notary Public, Mediator, Translator and Risk Manager.

Veronica is passionate about her community volunteering for many local organizations. Dancing with the Stars means so much to her because it is a small way in which she can proudly assist the children of Archuleta County!

Proceeds from this event go toward keeping tuition affordable for families who attend Seeds or Learning Preschool. Seeds offers a sliding scale tuition to meet families at their income level. Over 50% of the students at Seeds are considered at-risk. They desperately deserve a helping hand in education to succeed in life. Your contributions will allow at-risk children to thrive into adulthood!

You will be emailed a receipt for your donation. According to our donor policy, if the donor does not choose to remain anonymous, Seeds of Learning may share donor names only with our peer-to-peer fundraisers for the purpose of sending out thank you letters. Thank you!
