Welcome to New Mexico Men’s Wellness … a community:

• Existing for almost 20 years
• Including over 200 men from various part(s) of the state
• Encompassing many mens groups throughout the state
• Conducting several gatherings each year addressing men’s issues
• Publishing a quarterly newsletter called MAN ALIVE!
• Caring about the wellness of men

Community is the strength of New Mexico Men’s Wellness. As one of the men involved in Men’s Wellness for many years recently put it: Most of us who have become involved with the New Mexico Mens Wellness movement had little or no conception of that movement as a community. Certainly, for me the motivation to become involved was based on personal needs–i.e., dealing with my own stuff. But, as important, even though it wasn’t intentional, over the years I have benefited enormously as a result of my deepening relationships with many of the extraordinary men I have met in the movement. Community, in the best meaning of that word, has emerged and become a powerful pillar of support.

Why not become more conscious and purposeful about the power and potential of this community by contacting one of the men identified in the Directory? Remember, Personal Growth and Development is something you have to do … but you don’t have to do it alone.

Great News (added July, 2010):

It is with great pleasure that the current Board of Directors announces that we have obtained official status as a 501 (C)3 (tax-exempt educational) organization.

This was accomplished through ongoing efforts by many folks, and we are grateful to all of you for your contributions of ideas, time and energy. This opens up many possibilities for us as an organization, including tax benefits for individuals who choose to make financial contributions to support the work of keeping men’s wellness stong and vital.

We will be holding an electronic election within the next month to elect new Board members. Most of the current Board will change, with a total new Board of only 7 members. Anyone who has attended any of the four yearly conferences within the last two years will be eligible to vote, or to be on the list of potential new  board members. At this time the Board has decided that we do not want to become a “dues membership” organization, so there are no  membership requirements other than having attended a conference.

Thank you again for all your contributions at conferences and many years of supporting each other and the activities of this dynamic grass roots organization.
