Town Halls for Communities and Clients

In addition to our annual statewide town hall, New Mexico First convenes specialized town halls for communities, regions, government agencies, and other clients. Are you a decision-maker struggling with a problem that needs a widely accepted solution? Does your community need to develop a shared vision for growth and development? Is your agency considering a new policy that requires citizen feedback?

New Mexico First has a 20-year history of solving these problems. Our nationally recognized process and highly skilled facilitators can get you past arguing to action. Our town halls provide participants with a researched and balanced background report, a unique process to find consensus, and concrete recommendations.

Recent town halls

Issues addressed in recent town halls include:

  • Resolving school redistricting controversy
  • Visioning the future for local government
  • Developing a statewide curriculum
  • Enabling multiple organizations to work together
  • Implementing government mandated changes

Fees

$10,000 to $40,000 depending on the division of labor and scope of work. The total cost of a town hall can be more than what is charged by New Mexico First.

Event Timeframe

Usually three days, but can be done in two.

Timeline

Planning a full, three-day town hall typically takes about six months. We offer four months of preparation prior to the event plus post event follow up. This ensures adequate time and effort is put into the process, resulting in quality recommendations for you.
