The New Mexico BreezeTM Beginnings and Mission Statement

The founders of The New Mexico BreezeTM realized through other activities that real news was not reaching the majority of New Mexicans through existing media channels. They watched in dismay as key investigative reporters were demoted or let go by media owners for reporting the truth. They desired to create a publication that:

1. better informed readers regarding politics and current events with behind-the-scenes information, and

2. provided positive news about the state, leaving readers with a sense of pride as New Mexicans.

Leslie Cumiford, Editor and co-founder of The New Mexico BreezeTM, is an Industrial Engineer and consultant with a wide background of experience from Artificial Intelligence research to basic manufacturing and information system analysis. She has owned several businesses in the past and held a number of national and local offices, including President of the New Mexico Entrepreneurs' Association.

From the famed Lawn of Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia can be seen the inscribed words, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." This quote, from John 8:32 in the Bible, is The New Mexico Breeze's mission statement. As The New Mexico BreezeTM's byline states, the paper aims to build a better New Mexico through the power of informed citizens.

Finally, the founders believe that building a better community is not a government task, nor is it something that happens by accident. May The Breeze serve as a tool to unite New Mexicans to strengthen the community by reaching out to those in need. The Community Transformation column will highlight these efforts.

The New Mexico BreezeTM, LLC is a Christian business and as such follows Biblical principles in organization, corporate meetings, decision making, finances, and employee practices. The founders' hope is, however, that persons of all walks of life will find The Breeze to be an informative tool, assisting them to stay informed and to serve as contributing citizens in their communities. Reader input is encouraged. Enjoy The Breeze!
