A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Greetings,

Here at AREA, we hope that you are enjoying the beautiful weather and the start of summer festivities. We also hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth of July holiday, celebrating our nation's independence.

I am pleased to share our 2023 Greater Albuquerque Talent and Industry Profile compiled by AREA and CBRE, updated earlier this month. The profile highlights Albuquerque as New Mexico's primary commercial hub and a leading market with opportunities for companies and top talent alike. It is highly interactive, and has been leveraged by local businesses for talent attraction purposes as well as promoted by AREA to national site selection consultants.

I'm incredibly excited that we have three new members on the AREA Team, handling event coordination, marketing and communications and business development. Their tremendous work was a huge boost to a highly successful Annual Board Retreat and first ever Town Hall held just last week - more to come very soon on the takeaways and refinement on our priorities for the next 12 months that were identified in those key discussions.

Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement as we spend the summer looking to the horizon and focusing on top areas of impact.

With gratitude,

Danielle Casey, CEcD, EDFP
