NMCTR Board of Directors

Our Board is made up of community members who donate their time on a volunteer basis. They provide oversight and governance and recognize their responsibility with donations of both time and money. We are proud to enjoy 100% participation from the Board for financial contributions on an annual basis.

Michael Rawn

Board President

Michael has spent the past 43 years in higher education, doing research and teaching mathematics at universities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Peace Corps, 1980-83), India, New Orleans, New York, Indiana, and for 30 years at St. John’s College in Santa Fe. He was a co-founder of NMCTR in 2010. He was also the co-founder of a nonprofit recycling company in northern Indiana in 1989, Manchester Recycling Inc. He is currently retired and spends most of his time learning Spanish, golfing, traveling, hiking in the mountains, visiting with former students, and most of all volunteering at NMCTR. His spouse of 37 years, Cynthia, is also a volunteer at NMCTR. He has two children, Benjamin and Anna, who live in Berlin, Germany, and Santa Fe, NM, respectively.

Celia Ludi

Board Secretary

Celia is a life-long Santa Fean with roots in the area going back 400+ years. She is a retired lawyer who worked primarily in government - all three state branches as well as local government. She’s also a trained and experienced teacher and mediator. Her love of horses started as a child when she had friends with horses in their backyards. Since then she’s recognized the many gifts working with horses can bring to humans, and is a firm believer in the saying that “the best thing for the inside of a person is the outside of a horse”. Celia has been a volunteer with NMCTR since 2017 and looks forward to many more years of helping to provide therapeutic horse experiences to other people.

Sherry Witt Snow

Board Treasurer

Sherry is a semi-retired CFO who relocated from the San Francisco Bay Area to Santa Fe in 2017. Sherry has an MBA and is a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. She is a past Event Chair Cupertino Relay for Life, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and attends St. Bede’s Episcopal Church where she sings in the choir. Fascinated by horses since high school, she and her husband Ned volunteer on the horse care team. Volunteering at NMCTR combines her love of animals with her mission to make a difference in someone’s life every day. She is excited to help NMCTR take its next steps to becoming a world class therapeutic riding facility.

Michele McInnes

Board Member

Michele relocated from New York City to Santa Fe in 2023 along with her husband Dave and their two dogs. Trained as an urban planner, Michele spent her career in Geographic Information Systems and eventually retired as the Chief Information Officer of the NYC Department of City Planning. After spending her career behind a computer, Michele dreamed of working outside with animals and is thrilled to be an active volunteer at NMCTR working alongside the horses and the clientele that they serve. After raising a child and two stepchildren in NYC (two with special needs), Michele wishes that her children had been able to benefit from an organization such as NMCTR and wants to ensure that this organization continues to thrive to benefit others.
