In Memory of Deb Gibson
Deb has been a beloved member of the ACI team since joining in 2021. She had worked in the cultural resources field for 28 years in her home of Farmington, New Mexico and made a huge mark on this industry. With much sadness, Deb passed on November 11, 2023.
Her passion for people, both living and past, was a joy to experience. She will be greatly missed by all as a coworker, but more so as a friend.
