The New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) is privileged to continue our annual tradition of honoring military veterans in New Mexico who serve their nation and communities with honor, selflessness and distinction. Every year military veterans from across the state and from all branches are nominated by their peers and fellow citizens to be recognized for the tremendous contributions they make to our communities on a daily basis. The Veteran of the Year is selected from these nominations by an independent panel of former servicemen and women to highlight the career and continued dedication to others that is exemplified by the award recipient.
