Eduardo Martinez is leaving his post as the executive director of New Mexico's MainStreet program after 12 years, the Albuquerque Journal reports.
According to the New Mexico MainStreet website, Martinez "has been engaged with the New Mexico MainStreet program since 2011.
His role with NMMS covered quite a few areas, including training on the Main Street Approach, Board development, Executive Director mentoring, and nonprofit management topics; supporting and later co-leading annual reviews for districts; and helping new communities with readiness assessments, onboarding through the MainStreet process, and incorporation as a new MainStreet nonprofit organization."
Martinez's work "focused on facilitation of strategic and work plans for MainStreet organizations, contract negotiations between local programs and government partners, and troubleshooting nonprofit/Board operational issues," MainStreet's director says in a statement.
"His nickname, Doctor Eduardo, is well deserved and we will all miss his commitment and passion for developing community leaders and organizations, his guidance in troubleshooting and solving problems, and his compassion for people and the work we all love."
