The Association continues to be well respected in the industry and has strong ties and working relationships with other construction associations and agencies. NMUCA’s voice is also well respected and sought out by legislators and community organizations regarding legislative issues. Members are very loyal to the association and are positive about their experience. Members are engaged and responsive.  There is confidence in the leadership of the organization. 

The Executive Director continues to have a good relationship with members and continues to seek personal meetings as often as possible by visiting with members and other communications. We have excellent, strong, and respectful relationships with AGC, ACNM, ABC, ASANM, PRC/PSB, SMACNA, NMBC, MCA, NM811, ABCWUA, OSHA, NMRCGA, Builder’s Trust.

This (2025) is the eleventh year of being an independent state association, and the 46^th year anniversary of the association. The financial stability of the association has seen growth in the last year and has reached over 100% of our goal of having one year of operation expenses. Cash flow is manageable and there have been no withdrawals from the association’s investment account. The association once again deposited a total of $10,000.00 in 2025 into the investment account.  

Programs and trainings saw an increase in attendance. There was an Associate Showcase in 2025. Participation was less than desired. Planning Committee would like to convert this event into an Associate Member Appreciation Luncheon.  

 Membership retention is healthy. Membership growth showed an increase in 2025 and showed a record number of members for the second year in a row. Board members were very active in recruiting new members in 2025 and should do the same in 2026.    

The Zia Partnership has seven members which is the same as 2024. This is an area for improvement. NMOSHA is very complimentary of the NMUCA Zia Partnership but encourages more members.  

The scholarship program was fully funded and awarded in 2025, and the monetary scholarship awards were increased.

NMUCA was instrumental in stopping several legislative bills in 2025. NMUCA has been a leader in fighting the proposed heat stress initiative from NMOSHB.

NMUCA has representation on the boards of the Construction Safety Coalition, and the New Mexico Regional Common Ground Alliance.
