Are you a New Mexico leader?

Northern New Mexicans who are interested in helping their communities and the state progress and improve can apply for two of the nonpartisan Leadership New Mexico’s programs – Core Program and Connect New Mexico.

Leadership New Mexico’s Core Program is a class of 40 to 45 people who represent a cross section of the various geographic regions of the state from the public, private and nonprofit sectors. The 10-month class is designed to address issues facing the state and find solutions.

Connect New Mexico, The Next Generation of Leadership is a program designed to offer young professionals ages 25 to 40 the opportunity to develop personal leadership skills, learn how New Mexico systems and structures work and explore the critical issues facing our state.

Leadership New Mexico is now accepting applications for the 2019-20 Core Program and Connect New Mexico, The Next Generation of Leadership Program. Applications are available on the Leadership New Mexico website leadershipnm.org or by calling (505) 398-1500. Deadline for submission is March 15, 2019.

“We encourage applicants from all communities of New Mexico to apply. Our strength is diversity,” said Patty Komko, president of Leadership New Mexico. “We bring together leaders from across the state who might not otherwise have met, and provide them the opportunity to learn about each other’s industry sectors and communities.”

Since 1995, more than 1,600 leaders from 85 communities have participated in Leadership New Mexico’s programs.
