Operating Guidelines:- NMOC
meets regularly as an open, round-table dialogue to share information,
facilitate networking, and identify and act on collaborative efforts and
projects as appropriate.
- Participation
in NMOC meetings is open to all—any individual or organization with an
interest in New Mexico outdoor resources, activities, programs, and
policies.
- NMOC
has no membership fees or dues; costs for food and beverages at
meetings (e.g. coffee, snacks, lunch) are borne by each participant.
- NMOC
has two co-chairs, elected annually, who develop meeting agendas,
arrange meeting logistics, and coordinate other actions. One co-chair
is drawn from a governmental organization and the other from a
non-governmental and/or private sector organization. Co-chairs change
annually, though an individual may serve as a co-chair again after
sitting out one year.
- NMOC takes no policy positions nor conducts any advocacy as a distinct entity.
- NMOC
can serve as a forum and resource for considering and adopting advocacy
and policy positions and statements by members regarding conservation,
education, health, and recreation issues.
This listserve was created to facilitate information about projects and initiatives that connect New Mexicans to the outdoors. Topics include conservation, recreation, education, health & wellness, tourism, youth engagement, and job creation, to name a few. Modeling the signature projects for America's Great Outdoors (AGO), we realize many other worthy initiatives are taking place throughout New Mexico that are in-line with AGO, and welcome open discussions about those initiatives here.
