Welcome to the Future! We are seeing our Local and State Government changing right before our eyes. The fiscal contractions at all levels of government have affected Parks and Recreation State-wide. The budgetary contraction will likely reduce the level of services, cause us to be more creative, and likely forge new partnerships. It’s important that we are prepared to make changes to accomplish the many goals of our respective agencies. As we transition to a new NMRPA Administration, this is the last message from my term as President. At the State Conference, Ms. Dianne Marquez from Los Alamos was inducted into her two-year commitment as President. I urge you to support Dianne when she brings her leadership to the Association. I was very proud to serve as your President. Finally, I will end by repeating the request I made to you two years ago. Can you give a little time to the NMRPA? There is still much to accomplish.

Ed Chismar, President
New Mexico Recreation and Park Assocaition

Mission Statement:
NMRPA  will "Preserve the past, affect the present, and influence the future  of Recreation and Parks within New Mexico."
