The New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) has grown over the past ten years into a formidable, outspoken advocate for pro-business public policy, elected officials and candidates who agree New Mexico needs to be business friendly. One of key elements of a brighter future is great businesses that provide the jobs, products and services that improve the quality of life for all New Mexicans. NMBC is glad to profile some of those businesses.

"On July 19, 2018, Sylvia Bokor died from cancer of the lungs. Her ashes will be scattered in the Rose Garden at Sunset Memorial Park or some other location chosen by the Ayn Rand Institute. According to her wishes, no memorial services will be held.
I deeply enjoyed my time in New Mexico and meeting lots of it's citizens - kind, thoughtful and considerate. I greatly hope that all the work that I and other grassroots supporters of Right to Work did will not have been in vain. I encourage all those who want a more prosperous state to continue their work!
As American business continues to move into an ever-evolving 21st century economic landscape, the role of local and grassroots movements has emerged as a principal factor in local economies. As American citizens and stewards of our country’s future, we are all obliged to educate ourselves on current civil, economic, and legislative issues, and to help carry forward our ideals to ensure a better tomorrow for our children. This has always been the American way, and it has helped make us the greatest country on Earth.
There was discussion at an interim legislative committee about the ongoing debate of increased distributions from the Land Grant Permanent Fund. The New Mexico Business Coalition has been vocal for many years that taking more than the time-tested, economist approved distribution of five percent per year would be detrimental to the long term viability of the fund. The fund was set up when New Mexico first became a state to provide funding for education and certain other state needs in perpetuity. It cannot do that, if the fund’s corpus is damaged.

New Mexico lawmakers have repeatedly debated whether to pull more money out of the state’s largest permanent fund to help pay for early childhood education programs.
But in a legislative meeting Thursday, the state investment officer suggested a different approach.
Why not, he asked, leave the 5 percent distribution alone, but instead earmark a portion of the annual revenue growth that happens anyway?
With four counties on board, efforts to pass right-to-work legislation are heating up in New Mexico.
A local business group wants to keep the heat on.
The New Mexico Business Coalition confirmed to Albuquerque Business First it will contribute $20,000 for the legal defense of counties' decisions to implement right-to-work, which prohibits a company and a union from signing a contract that would require the affected workers to be union members. The contributions came from several businesses. A statement by the Business Coalition to ABF did not name the businesses.
Sandoval, Otero, Lincoln and most recently, Chaves counties have passed right-to-work legislation in New Mexico.
New Mexico ranks 35th for economic outlook in 2018, unchanged from last year.
