About NMACC

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
 
The New Mexico Association of Community Colleges is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit educational organization. Our mission is to support member colleges in their efforts to provide New Mexico citizens high quality, affordable, and accessible post-secondary educational opportunities.  
Accomplishing our mission requires collaboration and teamwork among community college faculty, staff, and students, with financial investment from New Mexico taxpayers. Engagement of legislators and residents within the communities we serve is vital to the success of our students.  
Branch Community Colleges are committed to providing cutting edge educational opportunities for all students. As research bears out, the factor that is more closely correlated with upward mobility in our society is the level of educational attainment. As long as educational achievement keeps up with technological gains, more jobs will be created.
