Arriola is the current owner and CEO of Southwest University at El Paso, a leading institution in the area that has seen substantial milestones under her leadership. She has been in her current role since 2000.

"Yolanda is a leader in the community and in the business world," said BBVA Compass El Paso City President Hector Villegas.

She has also helped and collaborated with various organizations, including Dame la Mano, Child Crisis Center of El Paso, El Paso Children's Hospital, Aoy School, Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Tom Lea Institute. Arriola and her organization is also behind the largest private gift to El Paso Children's Hospital, as Southwest University made a significant donation to the pediatric hospital last year.
