Welcome to New Mexico Black Caucus
PRESIDENT'S CORNER
"Bennie Hargrove Park"
Bennie Hargrove Park Re-naming
On Thursday, May 18 at 12:30 pm, Washington Middle School Park will be renamed The Bennie Hargrove Park, complete with a tree planted in the park in memory of the 13-year-old whose life was tragically taken in senseless gun violence on Friday, August 13, 2021. In addition, there will be a Bench of Reflection placed in the newly renamed Park encouraging people to think about their actions carefully before engaging in violent activity. We are inviting every person to join the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to lift up the family of Bennie Hargrove and to bring attention to the need to address gun violence in our schools. The new Bennie Hargrove Park will be located at 1101 Park Avenue, SW.
WE NEED YOU IN 2023!

* Looking for your talents to keep a great organization on the move.
All positions opern.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
