Raising a Reader Aspen to Parachute, a Glenwood Springs-based nonprofit focused on improving youth literacy in the Roaring Fork and Colorado River valleys, welcomed a new executive director Monday. For Iliana Renteria, the organization’s new executive director, the impact of reading at a young age is something she has experienced firsthand. “One of the first memories that I have of my mom is of her reading to me as a child, and how that sparked a curiosity in me, a desire to know more, to learn how to understand how to read, and I think that really planted the seed for me to always see education as the key for a better future,” Renteria said. Renteria previously served as Raising a Reader Aspen to Parachute’s program coordinator and later associate director from 2017 to 2021. Originally from Mexico, Renteria moved to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2017. She has been intertwined with Raising a Reader Aspen to Parachute from the very week she moved.
