What Businesses Are Saying

“The New Mexico Chamber of Commerce is an active and important partner in
improving education in New Mexico. They are a strong voice on issues from Pre-K
through post-secondary in addition to key workforce issues. This year, they were
especially helpful in ensuring that charter school students have access to quality
facilities, ensuring they have beautiful and safe spaces to learn and grow.”

Amanda Aragon

Executive Director, NewMexicoKidsCAN

“The New Mexico Chamber of Commerce team immediately understood a complex
federal and state tax issue that needed a legislative fix and expertly guided the bill
through the process. Improving New Mexico’s business tax environment is critical
to economic growth, and the Chamber team is well-qualified to lead the way. ”

John Chavez

Vice President, Sandia Peak Tram Company

“The New Mexico Chamber of Commerce has led many successful endeavors at the state level of government on legislation important to the business community. Among the primary reasons for our continued involvement in NMCC is the constant effort they put forth to keep us involved and informed, as well as their dedication to developing and advocating for policies to benefit their members. In a smaller state like New Mexico, it is critically important to have an avenue in which businesses across all industries can share ideas and have a voice, and NMCC ensures that platform exists.”

Janice Torrez

Divisional VP, External Affairs & Chief of Staff, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico

“As a sponsor of NMCC’s bi-partisan “Common Ground” program I have developed lasting relationships with legislators all over the state, and have had the opportunity to explore and learn more about New Mexico’s diverse regions and businesses. This has been one of the most successful and influential opportunities I have had when it comes to impacting legislative issues.”

Chris Stagg

Vice President, Taos Ski Valley

“NMCC really is the bipartisan voice for business in Santa Fe. The various networking opportunities and frequent informational newsletters have been invaluable to my business operations and growth.”
