Welcome Presenting Partners…
New Mexico ASBO’s corporate partners are an important part of our commitment to supporting our members. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated group helping us meet our goals. Without their generous support, many of our programs and services wouldn’t be possible. Not only do these leading companies generously provide financial support for programs and services, they are committed to ensuring school business officials have the necessary tools they need to succeed.
Participating at the highest level of corporate partnership, our Presenting Partners have unique benefits and promotional rights to offer NAMSBO association members. This partnership gives these companies the unique ability to carry marketing objectives to a new level while building and maintaining a relationship with their target audience. Partnership at the Presenting level is limited to 5 companies, is a two-year commitment and includes sponsorship of specific NMSBO events and professional networking opportunities annually at all NMASBO conferences throughout the state.
By becoming Presenting Partners, these companies have an exclusive opportunity to promote their business and make connections at NMASBO conferences. Not only will their products and services gain extra visibility among more than 1,000 decision makers in school business management, they have the opportunity to meet this valuable market face-to-face.
On behalf of NMASBO, I’m proud to introduce you to your 2015-2016 Presenting Partners:
George K. Baum & Company
George K. Baum & Company's Albuquerque-based Public Finance office was established in 1983. Over the past three decades, GKB has been consistently ranked among the top five investment banks for New Mexico municipal bond issuers. Given the frequency with which we are in the market with New Mexico bond issues, coupled with our strong support in the secondary market, we are uniquely positioned to provide highly accurate analyses of bond market conditions and generate optimum investor demand for New Mexico bonds. Since 2000, we have underwritten more than $11 billion in bonds representing more than 560 issues in the state. We are committed to serving the needs of New Mexico issuers and our prominent underwriting presence in the state underscores this commitment.
Poms & Associates
Recognizing a growing need within the industry for problem solvers willing and able to think outside the box, David Poms formed Poms & Associates in 1991. Since then, the company has carefully and deliberately grown to include nearly 200 employees; with branch offices strategically located to best serve our client base. Our company-wide emphasis on educating, rather than dictating to the insurance buyer has remained constant. With a determined focus on controlled growth, we are able to maintain the highest degree of customer service, which in turn fosters long and productive client relationships. We keep a critical eye on staffing to ensure that our clients’ expectations are exceeded on every level, at every turn. We are here to represent your best interests. That’s the Poms & Associates difference.
