Board of Directors

Since moving to Santa Fe in 2015, Suzanne has been a volunteer for ASPNM for both winter and summer sports. She has especially enjoyed volunteering alongside her daughters Christina and Laura Decker. Out of her respect for and commitment to the organization, she joined the Board in 2020 and was elected

Vice President in 2021.

Prior to retiring to New Mexico with her husband Rob Decker, Suzanne had a long professional career in the San Francisco Bay Area. She maintained a clinical and consulting private practice before joining Kaiser Permanente. Upon retirement she was Population Care Leader for three large medical centers, where she directed chronic disease management programs and consulted to physicians to improve patient outcomes on clinical quality measures.

In her free time, Suzanne enjoys skiing, hiking and cycling, as well as drawing and painting. She is happy to be a member of the ASPNM community.

Dr. Chittum, a native Santa Fean, has been a member of the Board for ASP for the past four years. As a Pediatrician in Santa Fe she cares for many children and teenagers with chronic medical conditions, intellectual disabilities, and special needs. Outdoor recreational activities, especially skiing, have been lifelong hobbies of Dr. Chittum. She finds that being on the Board for ASP is a perfect blend of her passions of caring for children and bringing them the opportunity to participate in activities that they otherwise may not have access to. 

Dr. Chittum serves on the Snow Ball Committee as well as the Holiday Wreath sales, which are significant fund raisers for ASP. You may see her on the slopes or at any of the numerous ASP actives during the summer. It is with honor that Dr. Chittum will continue to serve as an ASP Board Member.

Christina has been a volunteer instructor with Adaptive Sports Program during the ski and summer seasons since 2011, is a former ASP staff member, and has been a board member since 2016. She remained involved as a volunteer during grad school and in 2019, she graduated as a Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of New Mexico. She now works at Balanced Physical Therapy in Albuquerque, where she lives with her husband Matt.

Christina’s favorite part of being an ASP volunteer is seeing the athletes go for it and challenge themselves, as well as getting to meet their wonderful families. In her free time, Christina loves hiking, backpacking, and of course Christina has been a volunteer instructor with Adaptive Sports Program during the ski and summer seasons since 2011, is a former ASP staff member, and has been a board member since 2016.

I started working with ASPNM back when it was just a ski program. I enrolled my daughter and began to volunteer while she was in lessons. I am currently an active board member. I often say this program saved my daughters life. She has excelled with the program and attends every activity that she can. She has grown to be a super athlete. I continue to support this program with my heart and soul, as I truly believe it is the best program ever!

I moved from Canada to Minnesota as a registered nurse to work at St Paul’s Children Hospital , I also worked at the hospital in Aspen Colorado.

In Minnesota I was part of the national ski patrol, as well as a ski instructor.

I was instrumental in helping start a hearing impaired program in the Twin Cities, Minnesota.

I have been involved in the travel business, setting up ski packages to Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and the Canadian rockies.

I eventually went into the insurance field with Aflac, as an associate. This is what brought me to Santa Fe, as district manager for northern New Mexico.

I started teaching with ASPNM in 1997, then became a board member several years later.

On the board I have been the gala event chair. Having a great committee and Camille Romero, made our event a huge success.

Dr. Moore has over two decades of experience teaching and coaching individuals with disabilities. She has been a faculty member in the Special Education Program at the University of New Mexico since 2003 and is currently the co-coordinator of the Autism Spectrum Disorder Graduate Certificate Program. Veronica’s courses in the College of Education and Human Sciences focus on adaptive recreation and inclusive education. Veronica has been an instructor with ASPNM since 2009 and also provides adaptive ski lessons for the STARS program in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Veronica is a passionate advocate for individuals with disabilities. She has written numerous articles and given many national presentations on the importance of inclusive education. She has previously been on the Board of Directors for Parents Reaching Out (PRO) and The American Council for Rural Special Education (ACRES). When Veronica isn’t teaching, writing or on the slopes, she enjoys kayaking, gardening, crossword puzzles, family time and playing with her two awesome dogs.

As a psychotherapist by profession, I believe in and participate in active listening, critical thinking, and problem-solving, which are skills I try to bring to my participation on the Board of Directors for the Adaptive Ski Program of New Mexico. I first became aware of the program a number of years ago while skiing at Ski Santa Fe. As an avid skier myself, I would watch participants in the program and both athletes and instructors/volunteers were having a blast, enjoying the mountain, and exhibiting some awesome feats of skill. As time went on I became more interested in the program, and after attending the Snow Ball gala in March of 2017 and listening to athletes share their experiences I was convinced that I wanted to be a part of this inspiring program. From my own experiences, I have recognized the benefits of participating in outdoor activities that bring joy and balance to my life, such as skiing, yoga, hiking, and running. From this perspective, the mission of the program is in alignment with my own personal values, making the work and effort put forth feel valuable and inspiring.

I was first introduced to ASP through my years of employment at Ski Santa Fe. I had also run my own catering company for almost a decade when I first volunteered in the “camp Kitchen” for the 2014 event at Ute Lake. I fell in love with the program as I continued to volunteer and watched it enhance people’s lives over the next few years. I joined the board in 2018 and also continue to volunteer.

A native New Mexican, Annjenette grew up in Albuquerque and went to Highland Highland High School and the University of New Mexico. She has an amazing son David and lives in Santa Fe. Annjenette, aka "Aj" has been involved in the Adaptive Sports program since 2017 in both summer and winter activities. She is a member of the Snow Ball committee and enjoys skiing, spending time with her family and travelling with friends.

As the volunteer manager at Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center, she appreciates and values the importance and contributions of volunteers in our community. Recreation and sports have always been a part of Annjenette’s life, both personally and professionally. She was a gymnast and a dancer and her first job was with the City of Albuquerque Parks and Recreation summer and afterschool programs. After a 25 year career with state government, spanning from early childhood, education, policy and finance, she volunteered in the Santa Fe public schools. She was introduced to New Mexico Adaptive Sports through a chance chairlift ride with Camille Romero who invited her to the Snow Ball, and the rest is history.

Ginger was born and raised on the east coast by active parents who instilled in her a love of the outdoors- skiing, camping, hiking, rock climbing, and cycling, to name a few. They also taught her about being an active member of the community and volunteering for organizations that resonate with one's beliefs. 

Ginger has a degree from the University of Massachusetts- Amherst in Sport Management and has spent over 20 years in sports, fitness, event management, and the non-profit industries. Her deep commitment to community and extreme extrovert personality have her volunteering at many events around Santa Fe and have found her on a number of boards, joining Adaptive Sports New Mexico in 2024. She has been volunteering for the Snow Ball for many good years, loves the mission, and is happy to be a part of it all. 

Ginger is married to a native New Mexican billiard playing man, has a very good dog and two exuberant sons- the elder of which has been an ASPNM participant since 2015. She is incredibly proud of all her son has achieved and learned, and finds extreme joy in his celebrated athleticism and ability by the volunteers in the program.
