WeConnect New Mexico
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.
What if New Mexico became the most small business friendly state in the nation…
WeConnectNM is an active community group that was formed to support and promote New Mexico as an exceptional place to establish a business, connect to opportunities, raise a family and enjoy a unique quality of life. We believe that small business is the heartbeat of our economy. There are ~110,000 businesses in New Mexico and the vast majority of them are small businesses. However, there is very little support for these companies. WeConnectNM believes that if we are going to have a significant impact on the New Mexico economy, we must do so by focusing our efforts on bringing real support to the small business community.
Vision: WeConnectNM is the champion for Small Business support, policy and action.
Goal: Make a positive impact on the New Mexico economy by supporting small businesses with meaningful initiatives.
