The New Mexico Partnership is designated by the State of New Mexico to be the single-point-of-contact for locating and expanding a business anywhere in the state. Lt.

“I am extremely humbled, but also extremely excited to have Lt. Governor Howie Morales and the New Mexico Partnership in our corner as we promote all things New Mexico to the world,” said Coach Greg Jackson. “In addition to Jon and Holly, we have a winning team here from across the state in the New Mexico United, Taos Ski Resort, FARMesilla, Real Time Solutions, and the Albuquerque Dukes.”

Governor Howie Morales said. “As a coach myself, I know the value of working together to achieve shared goals, and with the New Mexico Partnership and Coach Jackson’s help, we will continue to demonstrate to the world why people should live, learn, play, and invest in New Mexico.” 

“Coach Jackson gets it. Coach built his successful business here, and he knows that hundreds of others have also found New Mexico to be the perfect place to build their businesses,” said Tim Nitti, CEO of the New Mexico Partnership. “Partnering with Lt. Governor Morales and Coach Jackson to sell New Mexico together is definitely a winning combination.”
