Leadership
Mary Perdue
Area Director
Mary Gray Perdue is the Area Director for Joni and Friends in New Mexico. Mary has a background in banking and Christian nonprofit ministry leadership. As such, she excels in strategic growth, networking, marketing and people skills. But what truly sets Mary apart is her heart, which has been shaped by personal experiences with disability, including having a sister with cerebral palsy. Mary’s compassion, paired with a genuine understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, has uniquely equipped her to be a leader whose heart reflects the love of Christ.
