Dion A. Silva
Dion Silva’s connection to the Cancer Foundation for New Mexico is deeply personal, shaped by the journey he shared with his mother during her cancer diagnosis. What began as a family’s moment of need became a lasting commitment to ensuring no one in our community faces cancer alone.
For years, Dion has been a compassionate and reassuring presence as an infusion room volunteer, offering comfort and companionship to patients and families during difficult moments. His steady support reminds each person that they are seen and cared for.
As a member of the Board of Directors for six years, including service as Finance Chair and Vice Chair, Dion has helped guide the Foundation with integrity and care, strengthening its future. In his role at Enterprise Bank & Trust as Santa Fe Region President, Dion reflects the same values of leadership and service, along with meaningful corporate support for the Foundation’s mission.
Dion’s humility, generosity, and unwavering commitment have made a lasting impact. We are honored to recognize A. Dion Silva as the recipient of the 2026 Cancer Foundation for New Mexico Hamilton Award.
