Are you interested in serving on the NMAG board? Any member may serve in an elected position for one year from November through October. Presidents serve for three years in sequential roles of President-elect, President, and Past President. Meetings generally take place in Rio Rancho and Santa Fe, and attendance by phone or video conference is supported so that board members may participate from a distance.
