The Core Program brings together a group of influential leaders from around the state for an
educational and inspirational experience that is unlike any other organization. In a 10-month
program designed to address critical issues in New Mexico, each session features expert
speakers and offers an opportunity for inquiry, analysis, and the development of solutions
to some of New Mexico’s most pressing problems. Each program year includes educational
sessions on topics such as health and human services, economic development, education,
environment and natural resources, government, and crime and justice. The diversity of
perspectives from each participant, the breadth of knowledge and expertise of the speakers,
and the distinct communities where program sessions are held are the most valuable
components of the Core Program.
L O C A L GOV E RN M E N T LE ADE RSH IP PRO GR AM
The Local Government Leadership Program is an educational partnership between the
New Mexico Municipal League, the New Mexico Association of Counties, the New Mexico
School Board Association and Leadership New Mexico. These organizations joined together
to provide a unique educational experience for municipal and county officials, school board
members, members of the New Mexico National Guard, and regional councils of governments.
The curriculum is patterned after the Leadership New Mexico Core Program and designed to
provide local leaders the opportunity to explore the issues facing New Mexico and participate
in skill-building workshops. The Local Government Leadership Program seeks to prepare local
officials with the background and knowledge necessary to undertake their civic responsibility
and instill in them a passion for effective and ethical public service.
C ON N E CT N E W M E XICO
Connect New Mexico “The Next Generation of Leadership” is a program for 25- to 40-year-old
professionals from around the state. The curriculum combines elements of the Core Program
and the Local Government Leadership Program and includes leadership skills development.
Connect New Mexico was created to offer young professionals the opportunity to develop
personal leadership skills, learn how New Mexico’s systems and structures work, and explore
the issues facing the state. The process encourages participants to cultivate new ideas and
leadership techniques and helps participants understand some of New Mexico’s most pressing
issues and challenges. The Connect New Mexico Program helps create a bond between young
professionals, the communities they live in, and the state of New Mexico, while helping them
gain the skills they need to be effective, influential leaders. The program provides participants
with tools they can take back to their communities to develop positive change and create
initiatives to improve the quality of life.
T H E A LUM N I PROG RAM
The Alumni Program is intended to further the education and challenge the thinking of Leadership
New Mexico graduates. In addition, interaction with graduates from other classes exposes
leaders to a wider diversity of perspectives as well as helps to develop the professional and
personal relationships that are one of the most valuable aspects of Leadership New Mexico.

Leadership New Mexico has educated and inspired New Mexico’s leaders for 19 years. We were
founded to bring leaders from across New Mexico to expand their knowledge and understanding of
issues facing the state. Leadership New Mexico creates an environment where learning happens
in an open, collaborative and constructive environment. Leaders take their new-found knowledge
back to their communities, passionate about inspiring informed change that makes a difference in
the future of New Mexico.
Participation in Leadership New Mexico programs stimulates the creation of relationships
that can provide resources for the future. Leadership New Mexico graduated 100 participants
from its three programs during the 2014-2015 year. Since its inception, 1,269 leaders from 82
communities now call themselves Leadership New Mexico alumni. Alumni are in every part of
the state in a wide variety of business and government leadership roles. Business and personal
relationships created during the programs have continued for many years on a statewide basis.
Many graduates donate their time to the organization through board service, committees
and as speakers. Others generously provide financial support through alumni memberships,
lifetime memberships, personal or corporate gifts and donations to Leadership New Mexico’s
endowment. The endowment was created in 2009 to ensure the prosperity of Leadership
New Mexico and, in turn, the future of the state.
We are proud to have been a part of Leadership New Mexico’s great accomplishments this
past year and look forward to many more successful years. We are grateful for our dedicated
volunteers, sponsors, speakers, and staff who believe in our organization and generously share
their time and resources to accomplish Leadership New Mexico’s mission.
With your valued support, Leadership New Mexico will continue its mission to create a better,
brighter future for New Mexico families and businesses while preserving the culture of this
beautiful state.
Thank you for supporting an organization dedicated to making a significant difference in the quality
of life in New Mexico.

In 2009, Leadership New Mexico established an endowment fund for alumni and friends of the organization.
The goal of the endowment is to generate a permanent source of income to offset administrative expenses,
which will allow us to focus our fundraising efforts exclusively on program expenses. The endowment
will also serve as a financial cushion against lean times and help ensure that Leadership New Mexico’s
mission will be sustained in perpetuity. In lieu of paying annual membership dues, a graduate, business
or friend of the organization may become a lifetime member by making a donation that entitles him or her
to all benefits of an alumni membership and more. Lifetime Membership donations are invested in the
Leadership New Mexico Endowment. Seventeen new Lifetime Members joined during 2014-2015 for a total
of 152 Lifetime Members since 2009. If you would like to support the endowment fund or purchase a Lifetime
Membership, please contact Leadership New Mexico. A Lifetime Membership or contribution is a tax-deductible,
charitable donation. Donations to the endowment fund or general donations may also be made through
United Way by specifying Leadership New Mexico on the pledge form.
