Nava new Harris Fellow

Rotarian Marcos Nava was honored at Thursday’s club meeting as a Paul Harris Fellow.

Nava, executive director of the Roswell Hispano Chamber of Commerce, was joined at the ceremony by two Hispano Chamber Board members, Veronica Arias and Alice Palma.

In addition to directing the Hispano Chamber, Nava headed the Roswell-Chaves County effort to assist with the recent U.S. Census.


Before being named executive director of the Hispano Chamber, Nava retired as a longtime regional and national officer of Boy Scouts of America. At one point in his career, Nava commuted regularly between his office at Boy Scout Headquarters in Dallas and his home in Roswell.


A special guest attending Thursday’s Rotary meeting was Larry Connolly of Roswell who worked closely with Nava on the Census.
