Our advocacy in FY24 focused on increasing wages for the early childhood workforce and stabilizing the childcare industry and increasing childcare capacity. Efforts included reaching out to policymakers via email and phone, attending state legislative virtual town halls in the spring and early summer, and participating in trainings with Start Early and SCAN. NMAEYC also engaged in social media campaigns, provided mandatory advocacy training to staff and board members, and hosted our annual Public Policy Roundtable, free for the community. 105356 178847 Annual Conference:NMAEYC hosted the largest early childhood education conference in New Mexico at the University of New Mexicos Student Union Building on April 5-6, 2024 with 1,190 registrants from across the state. The theme of the conference was Engaging the Future.While we raised registration prices by $15 per category, we achieved a profit of $130,469 which is the largest profit NMAEYC has received to date. The conference was well-received, and we had several classrooms donated to us by the UNM COEHS. Thanks to generous sponsorships, NMAEYC was able to provide 50 scholarships for rural and low-income centers and offer Spanish interpretation throughout the conference. Our keynote speaker, Cindy Nava, was a highlight of the event, and we offered 91 concurrent sessions.The conference planning committee and board did raise registration prices by $10 in each category. We made a $1 profit of $109.00 with our conference. Our main conference was well attended, and we received great feedback. The negative feedback received had to do with difficulty parking at the University and some over-filled sessions where there was standing room only. With generous sponsorships for conference, NMAEYC was able to offer Spanish interpretation and provide 85 scholarships for rural and low-income centers to attend conference. The keynote we selected was incredibly popular and well received Sean Buchanan We offered 70 concurrent sessions. 4316 35839 In FY24, NMAEYC maintained a small but dedicated team of two full-time employees: an Executive Director, and a Finance Manager. We utilized contract hires for specialized roles like communications, program and event support and accreditation consultancy. Despite limited contract work, the bulk of the organizations work was completed by the two full-time staff members. Through new partnerships and collaborations with early childhood education (ECE) groups, NMAEYC expanded its capacity to serve the entire state, including rural, Spanish-speaking, and tribal communities. This expansion allowed us to provide childhood professionals and families with low and no-cost learning opportunities via conferences, workshops, and webinars. These efforts enabled us to offer no-cost memberships and increase our advocacy capacity by partnering with other early childhood and child well-being advocates.Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB):NMAEYC continued its commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) throughout FY24. We recognized the importance of embedding DEIB principles into our cultural, programming, and systemic approaches. To ensure DEIB was integrated into all aspects of our work, we made updates to Board by-laws and organizational policies, incorporating DEIB commitments into formal policies. Recruitment of board members for election took place in March, with new members joining in July. Our board represents a diverse range of professional roles in early childhood education from regions across New Mexico.Membership:NMAEYC offered no-cost memberships to participants in our professional development workshops, generously underwritten by funders. Additionally, we provided free entry-level memberships through conference scholarships, supported by conference sponsors. Our concerted efforts to recruit and retain members led to meeting our FY23 goal of increasing membership to 1,000 members. This growth was driven by memberships provided through workshops and our annual conference.Professional Development:Recognizing the importance of reaching communities across New Mexico, NMAEYC continued to offer professional development workshops via virtual and in-person means. Over the past year, we held 32 professional development workshops covering a variety of topics, including STEM, Trauma-Informed Care, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). These workshops served over 350 educators and childcare providers throughout the state. Thanks to the generosity of our funders, all workshops were offered free of charge to both members and non-members, marking the fourth consecutive year weve provided these workshops at no cost.Fundraising:NMAEYC continued to seek funding from both established and new sources to support the breadth of our programs and services. We successfully ensured cost-free participation in our programs for early childhood professionals and families throughout New Mexico, including reaching tribal, rural, and Spanish-speaking communities. Key funders in FY24 included the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Google Kids Initiative, community foundation support and the Walton Family Foundation via facility grants from around the state. We also partnered with Explora Science Center and Childrens Museum to support tribal, rural, and Hispanic populations in northwestern and north-central New Mexico, respectively. A new grantor, the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association and Sandia Foundation provided additional funding for our programs.In addition to grants, we diversified our fundraising efforts through social media crowdfunding, partnerships with local businesses, an annual appeal, Giving Tuesday, and securing sponsorships for our annual conference. On December 4, 2023, we hosted our second annual high-level fundraising gala, the "Snowball," which was a great success. 297609 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false true true false true true false true false true true true true true true false false false NM X X Alicia Borrego 5052645464 1933 San Mateo Blvd NE 258 Albuquerque NM NM 87110 Alicia Borrego Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 81717 0 18023 Marie Gonzales Finance Manager 40.00 0.00 X 75685 0 15514 Kathleen DeSoto-Strickland President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joanha Strelow Past President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alberto Marez Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Angelica Vanchaik Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Martinez VP of Prof Dev 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacyln Shipley VP Member Svc 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Atencio VP of Publ Pol 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Holly Gurule Member at Large 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Porta Member at Large 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Shara Foster Member at Large 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Pruitt Member at Large 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Collen Bowman Member at Large 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christine Loya Member at Large 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 157402 33537 0 false false false 0 69205 293079 362284 Conferences Fees 611710 178847 178847 Membership Fees 611710 35839 35839 214686 300 300 0 0 0 0 0 11134 11134 11134 0 0 588404 214686 11434 X 0 0 0 0 173275 43319 86637 43319 0 9804 9804 0 0 13926 11811 2115 0 0 9176 9176 0 0 0 90645 77322 13323 1029 875 154 0 0 0 31885 23913 7972 36260 36260 0 0 0 0 0 3351 821 2530 Memberships 45277 45277 Supplies 34897 24428 10469 Communications 12934 4841 8093 Education and training 8800 8800 10613 10138 475 481872 297609 140944 43319 266374 274610 21105 21404 100000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 287479 396014 8685 10688 8685 10688 X 158051 198261 120743 187065 278794 385326 287479 396014 106532 X false true X true false X 297756 163750 389097 230586 362284 1443473 0 0 297756 163750 389097 230586 362284 1443473 536434 907039 691 227 258 294 300 1770 -14162 1004 400 1941 11134 317 0 1445560 9128 0.62750 0.52850 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false 82786 500 83286 124929 20697 25 20722 31083 X 588404 588404 588404 481872 481872 481872 Part X : FIN48 Footnote NMAEYC is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
