Thank You to Bernalillo County NM for Supporting 20 Years of Growth and Community

On behalf of our entire team and the community we serve, we extend our sincere gratitude to the Bernalillo County for their generous support and partnership.
This year marks a major milestone-20 years of business incubation, innovation, and community development. We could not have reached this point without the commitment and leadership of public servants who believe in the power of local investment and sustainable growth. Your support is more than a sponsorship-it’s a reflection of your dedication to economic opportunity, entrepreneurship, and resilient communities.

We’d especially like to recognize the support of District 2 Commissioner Frank Baca. Learn more about their work and dedication to our community here: bernco.gov/district-2/about-the-commissioner

Over the past two decades, we’ve seen dreams become businesses, ideas turn into action, and community support systems flourish. The County Commissioner has been a vital since the very beginning of this journey, and we’re honored to celebrate this legacy together.
Thank you for being part of our story—and for helping shape a future full of growth, innovation, and community empowerment.

No podríamos haber llegado hasta aquí sin el compromiso y liderazgo de servidores públicos que creen en el poder de la inversión local y el crecimiento sostenible. Su apoyo va más allá del patrocinio: es un reflejo de su dedicación a la oportunidad económica, el emprendimiento y comunidades resilientes.
Queremos reconocer especialmente el apoyo del Comisionado del Distrito 2, Frank Baca. Puedes conocer más sobre su labor y compromiso con nuestra comunidad aquí: bernco.gov/district-2/about-the-commissioner

En estas dos décadas, hemos visto sueños convertirse en negocios, ideas transformarse en acciones, y sistemas de apoyo comunitario florecer. El Comisionado del Condado ha sido una parte fundamental de este recorrido desde el principio, y nos sentimos honrados de celebrar este legado en conjunto.
Gracias por ser parte de nuestra historia y por ayudar a construir un futuro lleno de crecimiento, innovación y empoderamiento comunitario.
