Our Vision
At PACE, we envision a vibrant community where lifelong learners come together to explore new horizons, share meaningful experiences, and enrich their lives through the power of education.
We believe learning is a grand adventure best traveled in the company of others. Join us as we grow, discover, and connect through shared curiosity, creativity, and community.
Our Mission
PACE is dedicated to fostering the excitement of lifelong learning with enjoyable, engaging and enriching educational opportunities.
We strive to create a welcoming space where everyone can be a learner and a contributor.
Our History
Since Ron Richman founded PACE in 2018, we have offered courses on everything from quantum physics to wine tasting. We’re privileged to have in our area distinguished scientists, widely published authors, representatives of our variety of local cultures, professors of music, and others who have shared their excitement and love of their subjects with us. While offering educational opportunities to our local community, PACE has also since its founding operated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, donating all net proceeds to the Placitas Community Library. This dual mission of education and community support continues under the PACE Board and current PACE President Jud Fink.
