Certified ‘True’ campaign helps businesses increase visibility, bottom line

E-mail Print PDF
State tourism departments are assigned a big task: drive visitors to cities, towns and attractions, where tourist dollars can spur the economy. When they’re successful, local businesses get a boost from increased sales.

For the New Mexico Tourism Department, much of selling the state is easy, as the Land of Enchantment’s natural beauty sells itself. And since the department’s 2012 launch of the New Mexico True campaign, businesses can leverage the visibility and heft of the state’s sales efforts by becoming certified as New Mexico True.

While certification is free and offers a way to supplement a company’s advertising and marketing efforts, it comes with some legwork.

The Full Corn Moon also known as the Harvest Moon, provides enough light for farmers to finish their crops while enjoying the light of the moon.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

On The Passing of Jackson Gibson – A True Leader

E-mail Print PDF
On Friday night, August 18th, I learned of the passing of my dear friend Jackson Gibson, following his long and hard-fought battle with cancer.

At that moment, I felt that a true leader of the people had passed from us.  He was a servant-leader and a chief in every sense of what those terms mean – a public servant who was independent minded, strong willed and outspoken, but who also kept in mind “his people”.  Not just Navajos, not just Native Americans, not just Veterans, not just McKinley County citizens – but all of us New Mexicans and Americans, and visitors and guests, from all walks of life.

Jackson could be tough and stubborn and hard-headed, but he was at his core...

Aries (March 21-April 19)

School has started and your off to the races. Maybe you finally got the kids out of the house or got started on your own education path. Whatever the case, give it all you’ve got. Hit the books and start studying. Don’t get lost or trapped in the fear of what you don’t know. Consider your assets and best qualities and apply those tricks to the task at hand. Focus on what you do well.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Feeling a little mutinous? Maybe you’re headed towards a breakdown or maybe you should dust off your dancing shoes. Don’t focus on what everyone else is doing and what you’re not doing. This is the time to realize deep down that you can do...
