A Message from President Kelley Alsup
As we look ahead to the 2024–2025 school year, I am truly honored to serve as the president of the New Mexico Regional Cooperatives Association (NMRECA). Our commitment to providing support to our member school districts remains constant during this exciting time in education.
The NMRECA includes 10 REC executive directors, their dedicated teams, their deputy and assistant directors, and our RECA executive director. We work together to continue to expand services and support to our rural school districts across New Mexico. We also manage and support several statewide initiatives through our partnership with the New Mexico Public Education Department and numerous other state agencies. We have a solid foundation and will achieve even greater milestones this school year. As we strive for excellence, our mission remains constant:
To serve every student, in every region, every day.
In service,
Kelley Alsup
