The New Mexico Resiliency Alliance believes that leadership development is an essential strategy that creates a mentality of opportunity and empowers local leaders to be change-makers in their communities.

The New Mexico Resiliency Alliance advocates on behalf of policies that support local economies, with a particular focus on asset-based strategies to build economic resilience. Such strategies recognize and build upon the unique strengths of New Mexico's communities to increase the local capacity to adapt and thrive despite changing economic conditions.
