General information

The New Mexico Association of Student Councils is composed of five districts across the state of New Mexico. The five districts are Central District; Northeast District; Northwest District; Southeast District; and Southwest District. The NMASC sponsors a variety of activities that are available to all member schools. Activities include an annual conference held at a chosen member school, summer workshops that are held at the New Mexico Tech, fall district workshops, and additional activities.

The NMASC's governing body is composed of an executive board consisting of an Executive Director, an Adviser to the President, an Adviser to the 1st Vice-President, an Adviser to the 2nd Vice-President, and an Adviser to the Secretary, as well as four state officers.

  • There is an appointed Executive Director who is hired by the New Mexico Association of Secondary Principals with recommendation from the NMASC Executive Board
