What We’re All About

WeConnectNM is about connecting people, building networks, and growing communities. We seek to present the New Mexico public with a positive narrative of New Mexico and its small businesses who are thriving, creating jobs, and opportunities in the state.

“The thing about Albuquerque is that it is a city that doesn’t reveal itself all at once. I feel like we are always discovering something new about Albuquerque that we didn’t know.”
