It has come to my attention that the New Mexico Technology Council would really like to have HTC as (at a minimum) an affiliate member or a Peer Group or (preferred) as the Southern NM arm of NMTC.  I'd like to hear how the membership feels about this potential affiliation.  Personally, I'm fully behind getting affiliated to a state-wide group for the benefit of NM technology.



What is HTC’s mission?

To make southern New Mexico a regional technology leader in the short term and a national center of technological excellence.

 

Who can join HTC?

 Any individual or company.

 

Do I or my company have to be “High Tech”?

 No. HTC accepts members from any field; including retired individuals and students. To accomplish our mission we need to promote and educate Furthermore many companies that may not be view as High Tech may provide basic services to members companies or on projects they learn about at HTC meetings.

 

Does HTC have any political affiliation?

 No. HTC is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization. Some of our members include county governments and some political officials but we are strictly non-partisan but inclusive.
