Leadership New Mexico is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization governed by a Board of Directors from throughout the state of New Mexico. Since its founding in 1995, Leadership New Mexico has provided a non-partisan perspective on statewide topics of concern and opportunities for improvement. The organization identifies current and emerging leaders throughout New Mexico, enhances their leadership skills, and deepens their knowledge of the challenges and opportunities facing the state.
“During the 10-month-long Core Program, participants visit the state’s different regions and tour their major employers and economic hubs. Members experience the unique culture of each area and learn about its opportunities and challenges,” said Purwin. “We also hear from New Mexico’s subject matter experts focused on education, agriculture, economic development, crime, and much more. The process offers an opportunity for inquiry, analysis, and the development of solutions moving forward.”
Since joining REDW in 2015, Purwin has served on both internal and external audit engagements for government agencies and commercial enterprises. A CPA, he holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from the University of New Mexico’s Anderson School of Management.
