At last night's 2026 NMRPA Awards Dinner, NMRPA bestowed our highest honor, The NMRPA Lifetime Achievement Award, on Andre Dickson, Director, Bernalillo County Parks, Recreation and Open Space. Andre's commitment to our profession, to those he served, and those he served with is unwavering and commendable. Andre retires in December, and NMRPA wants to wish Andre continued success, and good luck in his retirement!

Last night at the NMRPA 2026 Awards Dinner and Keynote Address, The City of Hobbs Mayor Jonathan Sena proclaimed October 14, 2026, as Maddie Rooney Day in Hobbs, New Mexico. Maddie gave the Keynote Address, "The Save You Don't See". Maddie shared her journey with the sport of ice hockey which started for her at age 4, and culminated with 2 Olympic Medals, 2 World Championships, 2 PWHL Walter Cup Championships. Safe to say that Maddie has earned both Honorary Hobbsan and Honorary New Mexican status.
