Welcome to the NMRECA
The New Mexico Regional Education Cooperatives Association (NMRECA) is comprised of ten regional education cooperatives. We are located throughout New Mexico, supporting 68 districts (most of them rural), charter schools, and state-supported schools. Additionally, NMRECA members work directly with the New Mexico Public Education Department on state-wide projects and initiatives.
The NMRECA is affiliated with the NM Coalition of Educational Leaders (NMCEL), the Association of Educational Service Agencies (AESA), the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO), and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD).

A Message from President Valerie Brea
It is truly an honor to serve as president of the Regional Education Cooperative Association (RECA). Each of New Mexico’s Regional Education Cooperatives (RECs) is unique in how it supports the diverse needs of its member districts. Yet we are united by a shared mission: to serve students and schools across our state with dedication and purpose.
I have the distinct pleasure of working alongside a group of highly skilled and deeply committed REC leaders. Their creativity, collaboration, and clever problem-solving continue to inspire me and strengthen our collective efforts. Together, we are not only addressing challenges but also innovating to create greater opportunities for the students we serve.
I look forward to the year ahead and to continuing our commitment to “Every student, every region, every day.”
Warm regards,
Valerie Brea
