Shannon Anderson had begun an SMC Albuquerque, but based on discussions and the response to this query, it seems SMC NM would make the most sense. My initial thought is that we could rotate quarterly meetings within “zones,” perhaps Las Cruces, Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I know I’d love to get out and meet people around the state.

With your permission, I’d like to circulate the names of those who have expressed interest thus far. I’m also going to paste a form below that you can send to others who might like to register their interest.

The focus on professionals seems to answer a need and would avoid duplication with any existing organizations. Beyond that, and within the broad limits of what SMC allows, I think it would be up to us!

Comments are open here for ideas and feedback, and we’ll definitely want to take this to a more collaborative space fairly quickly.

Thank you all again—this is exciting!
