Irma Morin has dedicated over 32 years of service to the Community Council of Idaho, Inc. (CC Idaho), where she has served as Chief Executive Officer for the past 18 years. Her journey with the organization began as an accountant, followed by a decade as Finance Director, before assuming the CEO role. Throughout her career, Irma has been instrumental in shaping CC Idaho’s vision, expanding its programs, and strengthening its impact across the state.

A proud Caldwell native and daughter of former migrant farmworkers, Raul and Esperanza Garcia, Irma’s personal story is deeply connected to the mission of CC Idaho. As a child, she and her siblings participated in the migrant and seasonal Head Start program, El Centro de Colores, a part of CC Idaho. She spent seven years working alongside her family as a farmworker before qualifying for CC Idaho’s extended education program, which provided her tuition and book assistance for her studies at Boise State University. After earning her bachelor’s degree in accounting, Irma committed her career to giving back to the organization and community that supported her family.

CC Idaho has grown into the largest nonprofit organization serving Idaho’s Latino community, with a focus on supporting farmworkers and underserved families. Irma oversees an annual operating budget of $40 million and leads initiatives that include:

• Affordable Housing Development – spearheading the El Milagro Housing Revitalization Project in Twin Falls, including the construction of affordable housing, a community campus and preservation of historic buildings.
• Legal Services Expansion – establishing Familias Unidas, an affordable legal services program that ensures access to justice for underserved families.
• Healthcare Growth – leading the expansion of CC Idaho’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), including a new clinic in Rigby, new pharmacies in Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, and Rigby, and the addition of a dental office in Idaho Falls.

Irma’s leadership extends beyond CC Idaho. She currently serves as:

• Board Member, UnidosUS
• Treasurer, MAFO Board of Directors, a national partnership of farmworker organizations
• Treasurer, National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association
• Treasurer, Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho (CAPAI)
• Member, Convene Idaho and the Nampa Lions Club

She has also previously served on numerous boards and advisory councils, including six years as an Affiliate Council Member representing the Far West Region for UnidosUS, five years on the Community Advisory Council for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, seven years as Treasurer of the Idaho Hispanic Caucus Institute of Research and Education, and 11 years as a Western Alliance for Farmworker Advocates Board Member.

Beyond her professional achievements, Irma treasures her family. She has been married to her high school sweetheart, Anthony Morin, for 33 years and is the proud mother of three children: Amadeo (30), Victoria (28), and Frank (24). Her greatest joy now comes from being a grandmother to Ezekiel “Zeke” Garcia (5) and Selena Rose (2).

Irma’s journey, from the fields of Idaho to the leadership of one of the state’s most impactful nonprofits, is a testament to her dedication, resilience, and passion for empowering communities.
