Associated Contractors of New Mexico

What Associated Contractors of New Mexico does

Associated Contractors of New Mexico (ACNM) is a nonprofit trade association founded in 1934 that represents contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, manufacturers, and professional service providers engaged in the heavy/highway/utility construction industry in New Mexico. The organization operates as a state chapter affiliated with the Associated General Contractors of America and is headquartered in Albuquerque, NM. Its functional purpose is collective advocacy, professional development, and safety programming for a vertically specialized construction constituency.

ACNM delivers member services through four primary product lines: training and certification (ACNM Training and TTCP Training), the Heavy Highway Construction Safety Partnership (HHCSP) — a multi-tier safety recognition program established with New Mexico OSHA in 2008 — workforce development resources including a scholarship program and job board, and a calendar of networking and fundraising events (annual State Convention, Casino Night, Golf outings, Holiday Dinner). The organization also conducts legislative advocacy on behalf of members during state legislative sessions and provides bid information, committee participation, and industry news distribution through newsletters and social channels.

The business model is membership-based: ACNM is funded by member dues and event revenues rather than external capital, and operates with a small staff of 1-10 employees. Members must be engaged in heavy/highway/utility construction for two or more years and demonstrate skill, integrity, and responsibility. As of 2024 the association serves 90+ member companies and is governed by an elected Board of Directors, with Christian Hasse of Hasse Contracting Co. Inc. serving as 2026 Chapter President. The organization has no disclosed revenue, no subsidiaries, no acquisitions, and no public capital structure.
