Join us in honoring the 2025 Milton E. Proby Inductee! This year’s inductee will be a member of the Asian Pacific Islander community.

In 2006, as an initiative of Elevating Leadership Development, El Pomar established the Milton E. Proby Cultural Heritage Room at Penrose House. Named for the beloved Rev. Dr. Milton E. Proby, the room is dedicated to preserving and documenting the contributions of African American/Black, Asian Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, and Native American individuals from Southern Colorado. Each year a member of one of these communities is inducted into the Milton E. Proby group of honorees and is celebrated at an annual Induction Ceremony, which honors the legacy left behind by these individuals who embodied the ideals of civic involvement and leadership.
