Gallup, NM – The Global Directory of Who's Who proudly recognizes Alberto Victor James Cordova for his remarkable achievements and dedication in the fields of social work, ministry, and community service. Mr. Cordova, currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at the Gallup Indian Medical Center, has spent decades shaping the lives of others through his professional expertise and tireless community involvement.

A respected figure in both social work and ministry, Mr. Cordova's journey began with his ordination on February 5, 1975, at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in Penasco, New Mexico. Since then, his work has taken him across the country, engaging in a wide variety of projects that benefit diverse communities, including marginalized and underserved groups. His legacy as a minister and social worker is rooted in his early education, attending St. Anthony’s Parochial School, and later graduating from New Mexico Highlands University in 1969 with a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts. His educational pursuits didn’t stop there—Mr. Cordova earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois, and later, a Master of Divinity from McCormick Theological Seminary.

Throughout his career, Mr. Cordova has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to social justice and equality. He was instrumental in launching the Latino Theological Studies Program at McCormick, empowering Latino students and pastors to serve their communities. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in the Spanish Coalition for Jobs, the Spanish Coalition for Housing, and various other organizations aimed at improving living conditions for Latino communities.

Beyond his work in social justice, Mr. Cordova’s military career is equally impressive. Commissioned as a Navy Chaplain in 1981, he served both domestically and abroad, including a deployment to the Mediterranean Sea during the conflict in Beirut. His military service earned him multiple commendations, including the Navy Achievement Medal and the Meritorious Service Medal. His transition to the Army Reserves led to further recognition of his leadership and commitment, and he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2006 after a distinguished career.

Mr. Cordova’s impact is far-reaching. From his involvement in youth programs like Helping Hands, which he helped establish in the early 1970s, to his current work with the Indian Health Service's Project Zero Suicide initiative at the Gallup Indian Medical Center, he has continuously sought to make a difference in the lives of others. His work in diverse settings, including military bases and various social services, speaks to his adaptability and unwavering dedication to those in need.

His contributions extend beyond his professional life. A proud family man, Mr. Cordova is married to Kristen Hostmeyer, a professional social worker, and is the father of three daughters, grandfather to nine grandchildren, and great-grandfather to six. His family's tradition of public service, which dates back to his grandfather Pablo A. Cordova, a self-taught lawyer in 19th-century New Mexico, continues to inspire his work.

Alberto Victor James Cordova is a symbol of selfless service and lifelong learning. His work has touched countless lives, from his early days in ministry to his ongoing efforts to support veterans and Indigenous communities. His legacy is one of compassion, advocacy, and a deep-rooted desire to uplift those around him.
