We are delighted to introduce Alyce Watts, our newest team member at CO’YA Development Partners. Alyce brings a unique blend of passion, dedication, and experience to our team, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her join us on our journey to build beautiful, vibrant communities.
Her Journey & Role
Alyce’s journey with CO’YA is deeply personal and inspired by her strong support system. She attributes her success to two remarkable partners: Norm, her pilot and business partner who encourages her to reach new heights, and Danny, her husband and partner who keeps her grounded and loved. Their unwavering support has been instrumental in her growth, allowing her to fly higher and dream bigger.
Alyce has been with CO’YA Development Partners from the very beginning, starting with our first community in Gallup, New Mexico. From the moment we secured our first parcel of land, she has been an integral part of our exponential growth. Her excitement and passion for our mission grow every day, fueled by the endless support and possibilities that our financial blessings provide. Alyce is committed to helping professionals, families, and individuals who once thought homeownership was out of reach. She believes in building not just homes, but communities that are safe, secure, energetic, environmentally friendly, and beautiful.
In addition to her role in community development, Alyce is also deeply involved in philanthropic efforts. She helped establish CO’YA Ministries, fulfilling a 30-year dream. Through CO’YA Ministries, we support missionaries around the world, spreading the gospel and giving back to those in need. This legacy, grounded in the Biblical principle of giving seed to the sower, will continue through CO’YA Development Partners, even after we are no longer here. It is our way of saying thank you for the opportunities we have been given.
Her Story
Alyce’s story is one of resilience and hard work. Growing up, she and her brother took on the responsibilities of feeding cattle and handling household chores while their father worked the afternoon shift. She attended the University of Nebraska, earning a degree in teaching, but chose to become a housewife to Danny and a mother to their children. When she and Danny parted ways, Alyce quickly adapted, learning computers and electrical drafting to make ends meet. Now, back together with her beloved husband, they are celebrating 34 years of marriage and have never been happier. They enjoy doing everything together, including their morning routine of coffee and prayer. Danny’s unwavering support and sense of humor keep Alyce’s generous heart inspired and focused on her work with CO’YA.
Alyce is particularly proud of her involvement in Women of CO’YA, a platform dedicated to recognizing women who have followed their dreams, whether within CO’YA Development Partners or elsewhere. She is passionate about celebrating women, God, and bringing community back to families.
Please join us in welcoming Alyce Watts to the CO’YA family. We are excited about the future and grateful for the incredible contributions she will undoubtedly make to our team and our communities. Welcome aboard, Alyce!
