It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Roy Miller, who after serving as State Director of the New Mexico Smaller Enterprise Improvement Centers Network for 15 years, has resigned his position. Previously,
Office 2007 Keygen, Roy was the SBDC Director in Clovis,
Microsoft Office 2007 Key, New Mexico from 1990 to 1996. During his tenure,
Windows 7, the SBDC Network grew in importance and coverage. Roy's mission was to always serve the smallish businesses in New Mexico in any way possible. Thru his direction, the IBA was created and funded. He was a tireless supporter of assisting New Mexico companies with their international efforts. It was truly an honor to be associated with Roy and to see how respected he was throughout the state. We wish him luck in the future and hope that he puts thousands of miles on his RV enjoying his travels across the country.
Michael Rivera was recently named as the new State Director from the New Mexico Tiny Corporation Improvement Centers Network. He comes to the post with vast experience working with little businesses, and with both the public and private sectors (see below for his full background). The IBA welcomes our Mr. Rivera and looks forward to his leadership.
