New Mexico counties began meeting on an annual basis in 1936 to address their concerns and collaborate on initiatives. In 1968, the New Mexico Association of Counties (NMAC) was officially incorporated and has served as a statewide voice for all counties in New Mexico ever since.
New Mexico Association of Counties is a non-profit, nonpartisan association representing and serving New Mexico’s thirty-three counties. As a result of its work, counties advance the public’s vital interest in effective, efficient and responsive local government. Therefore, NMAC’s mission is to work as a united body by equally representing the interests of all counties to promote effective and efficient county government.
As a professional association of county elected officials and employees, NMAC has served as a statewide voice for New Mexico’s counties since 1968. NMAC supports and promotes the idea that all county elected officials and professional county employees must have the opportunity to act together to solve problems and to work for the progress of county governments in New Mexico.
