Programs
With fourteen successful years of unique program planning and over 800 participants from 69 communities across the state, Leadership New Mexico has established itself as the preeminent educational organization for business, community and government leaders to gain insight and understanding about our great state.Leadership New Mexico launched the first Core Program class thirteen years ago with 32 participants from 12 communities across New Mexico, and today we have 525 statewide leaders from 42 communities who have participated in the Core Program.
Because of the success of the Leadership New Mexico Core Program and the support of its alumni, we launched the Local Government Leadership Program in 2003. This program is an educational partnership between the New Mexico Association of Counties, the New Mexico Municipal League, the New Mexico School Boards Association, the New Mexico National Guard and Leadership New Mexico. To date, the program has had 135 participants from 31 municipalities, 27 counties, two National Guard units, two regional councils of governments and five local school boards.
Connect New Mexico, The Next Generation of Leadership, was launched in 2007. This is a program for young professionals, ages 25 to 40, and focuses on various New Mexico systems and structures and critical issues facing our state. The Connect New Mexico Program to date has had 78 participants from 22 communities.
