PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE FOR THE LOVE OF NEW MEXICO MAX MYERS President, New Mexico Bankers Association I love New Mexico! Sometimes, we tend to forget about all the great scenery in our home state. From the high mountain ranges down to the Chihuahuan desert landscape, New Mexico has so much to offer. Recently, John Anderson and I have been traveling across the state to meet with our fellow bankers, and driving through the countryside was a great reminder of our state’s beauty. We still have some visits left to make, but let me tell you what we have done so far. To start, traveling with John is a joy. Never a dull moment, including getting lost. John used his internal compass to guide me back to the hotel. We started out heading south to Carlsbad. I am amazed at the number of wind turbines that have cropped up along the pathway south. They are almost mesmerizing to watch make those slow circles, and it’s difficult to pay attention to the road sometimes. The Permian Basin continues to drive the economic engine in southeastern New Mexico. Our bankers have been forcefully supporting the industry and its related businesses, especially restaurants and hotels. 4
