Meet your NMHA Board Member: Steven Rose
NMHA installed our three newest Board Members at our Annual Meeting on Jan. 28. We would like to introduce you to our newest Board Members so you can see why they love the tourism industry and what they hope to accomplish during their tenure on the NMHA Board of Directors.

Meet Steven Rose, Director of Residential Planning for Taos Ski Valley.

"Hookipa," Hawaiian for hospitality, is a triangular connection between a host, a visitor, and a particular place. See how that theory of hospitality has shaped Steven's own concept of hospitality, and how he intends to contribute to the continued growth of New Mexico tourism through his tenure on the NMHA Board of Directors.
