In the early 2000s, Rafael Guerra took the helm as the new Executive Director of ECMHSP. Under his leadership, the organization experienced a significant expansion into new farmworker communities. Rafael also emphasized the enhancement of service quality throughout the project. ECMHSP began to shift towards a direct service model, reducing its reliance on delegate agencies. Moreover, the organization extended its mission to include advocacy for the farmworker community. At the close of the decade, Rafael Guerra announced his retirement, capping a lifetime dedicated to serving farmworkers. Chief Legal Officer John Menditto stepped in as Interim Executive Director until the next ECMHSP leader was identified.
