On June 26, Del Esparza, CEO of Esparza Advertising + Digital, chaired his final meeting as the head of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce (GACC) Board of Directors. Esparza completed a one-year term and was recognized for his contributions with an award titled "Gratitude."
Peter Lorenz, CEO of Unirac Inc., will assume the chairman role on July 1. Lorenz previously held this position from 2022 to 2023 and has led Unirac since 2011.
Terri Cole, GACC president and CEO, praised Esparza's impact over the past year. "Del has truly made a difference this last year in this business community and in this state," Cole said. "We want to express our appreciation to you for your dedication, your vision, your tireless service and your wonderful sense of humor."
Bruce Stidworthy, GACC past chair and CEO of Bohannan Huston, also commended Esparza's leadership. "There’s an expression that people always say about you put your money where your mouth is," Stidworthy remarked. "But to me, the maybe even more valuable thing is time... Your leadership as a Chamber leader really illustrates that you have put your time where your heart is."
