Congratulations to PHCC members Marina Efroymson and Eric Maxon for receiving The Harold B. Albert Jewish Community Service Award.
The New Mexico Humanitarian Award, founded in 2008, has become a tradition in New Mexico, recognizing individuals who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to humanitarianism. This year’s event honored distinguished New Mexicans whose contributions span education, culture, social justice and philanthropy. Maxon and Efroymson were two of the 5 honorees.
Maxon has been a pillar in the Jewish youth community for more than 30 years through his involvement with B’nai B’rith Youth Organization (BBYO), the leading Jewish teen movement. His work with BBYO has taken him across the globe, including multiple trips to Israel, where he has helped foster meaningful experiences for youth.
Efroymson worked as a resettlement coordinator for Jewish Family Services, where she helped Eastern European Jews, as well as members of the Baha’i and Muslim communities, find housing, secure jobs and access language classes in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has also been an advocate for financial literacy through her volunteer efforts with Junior Achievement, where she educates students on the importance of managing finances and instills the value of philanthropy at an early age.
