Annual Luncheon
Over the years, the Northwest NM Council of Governments has held an Annual Luncheon after its annual/summer Board meeting to celebrate the successes of the year. This is an opportunity for leaders of all kinds to connect and network.
Leaders attended the event from San Juan, McKinley, and Cibola counties including a diverse array of backgrounds from New Mexico Legislators, to transportation and economic development professionals, heads of local universities, healthcare administrators, private sector moguls, contractors, tribal leaders, State and Federal agency representatives, and many local elected officials and staff.
