Dear Members, Partners, and Friends of the New Mexico Hospitality Association,

As I get ready to step away from my role as CEO, I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for the amazing experiences and relationships that this industry has provided me over the last seven years.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with passionate industry leaders, dedicated volunteers, resilient business owners, and committed public partners who care deeply about the future of hospitality and tourism in our state. Whether advocating for smart policy, celebrating excellence at TopHAT, producing events that bring our industry together, or supporting members through both challenges and milestones, the strength of this community has always been our greatest asset. This industry (and the Association) faced some significant challenges during the pandemic and emerged leaner and meaner (or maybe that was just me) and ready for a bright future.

As I move into retirement, I do so with confidence in the future of NMHA and in the leadership that will guide it forward. The work we do matters—not only for the success of individual businesses, but for the vibrancy of communities across New Mexico. I will continue to be a proud supporter of this industry and all it contributes to our state.

Thank you for the privilege of serving you. The relationships, shared purpose, and sense of community we’ve built together will stay with me always.
