consideration, please apply by June 27, 2022.
This is a remarkable opportunity for a results-driven leader skilled in
best HR practices to serve as the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) in this newly created position.
Central New Mexico Community
College shines as an exceptionally strong and innovative institution well-positioned to meet the demands of the changing higher education
landscape. With significant capital investments geared towards student success including building a new student services facility, and the
implementation of a new ERP/SIS, CNM is committed to the development of an even stronger student experience. The Chief Human Resources
Officer will lead and organize CNM’s workforce in meeting their mission that furthers student and community success and strives for
organizational excellence and innovation. The CHRO will be responsible for helping the CNM enterprise – including the College, the
College’s 501(c)(3) economic development organization (CNM Ingenuity) and the Foundation – maintain its compliance standards
while creating a culture that effectively attracts, supports, develops, and retains top talent. The successful candidate is responsible for
the overall administration, coordination and evaluation of compensation and benefits, talent management and development, performance
management, and employment policy development.
The position reports directly to the President and works closely with the general
counsel who leads labor efforts with the College’s 3 unions (5 collective bargaining units). The CHRO will provide important strategic
and tactical guidance to the leadership team as the Human Resources Department moves beyond compliance to one who helps its workforce adapt
to an evolving and competitive environment of hybrid work, with modern technology and analytics, and adaptive compensation programs.
Consistent with the College’s status as a Hispanic-serving and Native American-serving institution, the CHRO works closely with
students, faculty and staff and community leaders to promote the success of all students, particularly underserved populations, and foster a
diverse workforce.

About Central New Mexico Community College:
Founded in 1964 as Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute, a
locally supported vocational school, the College was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (now the Higher
Learning Commission) in 1978. Degree-granting power was approved by the New Mexico Legislature in 1986, signaling the College’s
transformation into a comprehensive community college. In 2006, the institution changed its name to Central New Mexico Community College
(CNM) to better reflect the breadth of offerings and the service area. CNM currently offers Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and
Associate of Applied Science degrees, as well as many certificate programs and non-credit certifications and licensures. Over the last
decade, CNM has consistently enrolled the largest undergraduate student body in the state.
In U.S. Department of Education
statistics, CNM regularly ranks among the top five two-year colleges nationwide for the number of associate degrees and certificates awarded
to both Hispanics and Native Americans. CNM also regularly ranks among the top 10 for total associate degrees and certificates awarded to
all students.
CNM served more than 33,100 students during the 2019-20 academic year – there were 23,096 students taking credit
classes in the 2019 Fall Term. Despite the various impacts and challenges presented by the pandemic, more than 20,000 students took credit
classes in the 2020 Fall Term. In the 2019-20 fiscal year, CNM also served more than 4,100 individuals through non-credit workforce training
and industry testing for credentials/licensures; and more than 1,800 individuals participated in CNM’s Adult Basic Education
non-credit programs, such as English as a Second Language and High School Equivalency prep courses.
CNM’s student body
reflects the diversity of the community it serves. CNM is both a Hispanic Serving Institution and a Native American Serving Institution. CNM
also serves more than 1,000 military veteran students who receive federal education benefits, the most in the state.
In 2014, CNM
started CNM Ingenuity, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)3 organization created under the New Mexico Research Park Act. CNMI supports a new approach
to education that provides accelerated educational and training opportunities in key workforce areas, wrap-around support for aspiring
entrepreneurs, and cooperative ventures that foster economic development and job creation in the region. Through CNMI, the College has been
providing an innovative, non-traditional higher education environment that helps spur economic growth in New Mexico. National higher
education publication “Education Dive” named CNM the 2018 “Innovator of the Year” for becoming the first community
college in the country to issue digital diplomas to graduates through blockchain technology, an effort driven by CNMI.
In 2020, CNM
Ingenuity’s 12-week Deep Dive Coding program was selected as the 2020 Higher Education Program of the Year for the New Mexico
Excellence in STEM Awards, which is managed by the Air Force Research Lab New Mexico.
Also in 2020, CNM was presented with the
Excellence in Workforce Development Award from Albuquerque Economic Development for the outstanding impacts of the College’s
longstanding and highly regarded Nursing program. CNM is heavily relied upon to support the regional economy’s workforce development
needs across many sectors, from the healthcare industry to the state’s booming film industry to the IT industry to the trades.
CNM also has a well-earned reputation for providing outstanding service to our students, both in the community and nationally. In 2013,
CNM won the national Student Success Award from the American Association of Community Colleges for significant gains in graduation numbers
and the implementation of an innovative student support model.
The CNM Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, has raised more than
$44.8 million dollars to fund 33,000-plus student scholarships and program support since its inception in 1992. CNM formed the Foundation to
leverage private funding resources and opportunities to support students and the College.
CNM has nine locations for easy student
access across CNM’s District, including five campuses. The campuses are located in each quadrant of Albuquerque, and one in nearby Rio
Rancho. The campuses include Main Campus near downtown Albuquerque and the University of New Mexico; the Joseph M. Montoya Campus in the
Northeast Heights; the Westside Campus; the South Valley Campus; and the Rio Rancho Campus. The College also offers programs and services at
the Advanced Technology Center and Workforce Training Center in north Albuquerque, and the STEMulus Center and FUSE Makerspace in downtown
Albuquerque. Each of the locations has had recent upgrades to facilities, technology, and signage.
The largest classroom building,
Max Salazar Hall located on Main Campus, recently reopened after a major renovation. In addition, a new Education Collaborative building
opened on Main Campus in August 2019. This building represents an exciting collaboration among CNM, Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) and the
Native American Community Academy (NACA) charter school. The College & Career High School (CCHS), a highly successful dual-credit high
school that’s operated through a partnership between CNM and APS, is located in the new building, as is CNM’s Teacher Education
programs and NACA’s high school students.
CCHS students typically spend half of their day taking APS classes, and the other
half taking CNM classes that count for both college credit and high school elective credit. Many CCHS students graduate from the high school
with a CNM associate degree and enough college credits to enter a university as a junior. For the 2018-19 school year, CCHS posted a 98.5
percent graduation rate, the highest in APS and one of the highest in the state. The high school’s graduation rate and overall
performance has consistently ranked among the state’s best since it opened in August 2013. CNM’s dual credit courses are
available to high school students across the region.
CNM operates on an annual budget with a fiscal year beginning on July 1.
However, the budget and resource allocation processes are a multi-year activity which assures that funding from all sources is continuously
consistent with long-range policies, programmatic goals and specific campus roles and objectives of the College. The budget process is based
on criteria established by the New Mexico Higher Education Department for the purpose of ensuring consistency in the development and
reporting of budget information among institutions of higher education.
CNM’s major sources of operating revenue are state
appropriations (41%), local mill levy (39%) and tuition and fees (17%). In 2013, the HED implemented a performance–based funding
formula model which now serves to distribute state appropriations to institutions of higher education in New Mexico. The College budget is
developed with input from the College and is guided by financial policies approved by the CNM Governing Board.
CNM is in sound
financial health and fiscally responsible. In the most recent review of CNM’s finances for a bond rating in summer 2018, Moody’s
Investors Services, Inc. reaffirmed the college’s credit rating as Aa1, and Standard and Poor’s Corporation reaffirmed
CNM’s AA+ rating. For four straight years from the FY2016 through FY2019 fiscal years, the Government Finance Officers Association of
the United States and Canada awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to CNM for its comprehensive
annual financial reports (CAFR). CNM’s well-managed cash balances and strong budgetary management contribute to and are indicators of
a positive financial direction and strong, stable management.
Living in the Area
Albuquerque, New
Mexico’s largest city, sits in the high desert. Set in the high desert of Central New Mexico, Albuquerque is New Mexico’s
largest city and gateway to the striking natural beauty and cultural diversity of the state. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, low
humidity, short commute times, and a relaxed pace, Albuquerque is easy to live in and offers an endless mix of Native culture, lively
entertainment, dining, and shopping. Adding to that are a favorable tax climate and the state’s strong fiscal health and a cost of
living nearly 9% below national average.
Its modern Downtown core contrasts with Old Town Albuquerque, dating to the city’s
1706 founding as a Spanish colony. Old town is filled with historic adobe buildings, such as San Felipe de Neri Church, 5 museums, and shops
selling Native American handicrafts. Nearby, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center traces the area’s tribal history.
From the
Sandi Mountains bordering Albuquerque’s eastern edge to the Natural Center State Park near the Rio Grande River, the area offers
exceptional outdoor recreation. From the modern sensibilities of downtown to historic Old Town, history, culture, and nightlife await. And
from proud traditional ranging from the annual International Balloon Fiesta to the luminaria walk each holiday season, Albuquerque is a
unique place with varied treasures.
