At the New Mexico Business Coalition, we want to improve the lives of all New Mexicans and we advocate for them on all levels.
One way we do that is by highlighting news all across the state that affect business owners, employees, and many others in their everyday lives. We also post many news stories every week to keep you informed and engaged on information that’s relevant to your world.
Do you have a story, news, or even an opinion piece we should publish? Submit them to david@nmbizcoalition.org and we could publish your news next!
