<p class="MsoNormal">The New Mexico (NM) Broadband Collective is made up of a diverse group
<br>
of funders and nonprofits throughout New Mexico that believe it is <br>
necessary to have a statewide approach to ensuring broadband services <br>
for all New Mexicans, especially in our most rural communities, native <br>
communities, and communities impacted by the lack of broadband <br>
connectivity – to promote coordination of funding, resources, <br>
collaborative conversations, legislative efforts, and to amplify our <br>
statewide partnership efforts.<br>
<br>
The Community and Regional Efforts Workgroup of the NM Broadband <br>
Collective would like to know how many NM (eligible) organizations plan <br>
to apply for the NTIA broadband funding, and any current or upcoming <br>
opportunities for support or collaboration.<br>
