Join Us for the NMCC FOCUS Awards, presented by Chevron
The NMCC FOCUS Awards, presented by Chevron, honor state legislators who have championed policies that align with our priorities and support New Mexico’s business community. These awards recognize leadership, partnership, and a commitment to advancing a strong economic future for our state.
 
We are proud to recognize the legislators who have worked on behalf of New Mexico businesses during the 2026 legislative session.
 
Please join us for a cocktail reception at UNM Rainforest Innovations in downtown Albuquerque, where Chamber members and policymakers will gather to celebrate these leaders and connect with peers.
 
We hope you will join us in recognizing these champions of New Mexico’s business community.
