The NEA New Mexico (NEA-NM) today announced its first place award from the State Education Editors Conference for their iPhone and Android applications. The mobile applications were developed to engage their members, the public and politicians on the top mobile devices in the market today. The applications provide access to the association’s social media feeds, videos and support their political advocacy initiatives.

“This award is an honor and we are glad to be at the forefront of technology to engage our members and improve education in the State of New Mexico,” said Charles Bowyer, the Executive Director for NEA New Mexico. “This award is a validation by our peers that we are on the right track.”
