The goal of this community-wide effort is to help guide the people of New Mexico on the path to economic independence through expansion of their knowledge of financial concepts and access to financial resources. This in turn will provide long-term solutions for the financial stability of both individuals and families as well as increased numbers of small businesses that in turn will stimulate our economy.
