The foundation manages the ProStart Program, which partners with over 30 New Mexico High Schools to provide quality curriculum in Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management. The annual state competition awards over 1 million in scholarships for students to pursue their dreams!
Membership celebrates and protects the present
Our annual Hospitality Industry Awards represent the best of the best in our industry! This Gala is the premiere hospitality event of the year, honoring the managers, chefs, owners, and teams that are the heart of our industry.
NMRA protects your business through our lobbying efforts and grassroots efforts. We also provide educational seminars and opportunities through our member partners so that you can stay on top of what you need for your business to thrive. Our monthly webinars are recorded and available for our members to review anytime.
Our Foundation just launched the Serving New Mexico Fund, which will provide a grant-based option for hospitality workers to get help in emergencies so they can get back to work– for you– quickly. Our member participation in the fund shows your employees they are valued and supported.
