From this work\, we know there is no one-size-fits-all solution for positive change. The BRS approach begins with understanding the needs and goals of your community or organization and designing a customized engagement that is right for you. \nBroad Ripple Strategies represents nearly 30 years of experience crafting community and economic development strategies that build consensus\, drive investment\, and get results. After many years at nationally prominent firms\, our principals decided the time was right to start a company that reflects our values and perspectives on what works in community and economic development. \nWe believe that “impactful strategies create broad ripples.” Instead of boilerplate plans overloaded with initiatives that are unlikely to be implemented\, we identify the catalytic projects and programs that lead to big impacts in communities and organizations. Rather than a one-size-fits-all process\, we customize our approach to meet the needs and goals of each client. And we create strategies for action\, not for shelves. \n—————————————————————————————————————————————————————- \n\n  \n\n\nEvent Highlights: \n\n\n\n\nHear from Interim President & CEO Chad Matheson as he provides an in-depth update on the economic health and competitive position of the Greater Albuquerque region and reflects on the key achievements under AREA’s most recent strategic plan. \n\n\n\n\nGuided by professional facilitators with deep experience in economic development and regional strategy\, you’ll participate in interactive conversations and focus groups to help define the next generation of goals for the region’s economic future. \n\n\n\n\nThis is a chance for investors\, public and private partners\, and community leaders to come together and shape a shared vision.

Pressures now converging around workforce shortages\, rising labor and supply costs\, the growing power of national payers\, and sweeping federal policy change are not just operational challenges for hospitals and clinicians. They are competitive challenges for every business and employer trying to attract talent\, drive investment\, and sustain long-term growth. \nNew Mexico enters this moment carrying added weight\, with historically high malpractice costs\, a Medicaid-concentrated payer mix\, rural access barriers\, and persistent workforce shortages shaping not just healthcare delivery\, but the state’s broader economic proposition. A region with a strained healthcare system is a harder sell\, whether you’re recruiting a neurosurgeon or a semiconductor manufacturer. \nYet New Mexico has demonstrated these challenges are not fixed. Landmark medical malpractice reform\, achieved through collaboration among healthcare organizations\, business leaders\, and policymakers from across the state\, proved that when healthcare and the business community align around shared economic interests\, structural change is possible. Greater Albuquerque was central to that effort\, and the region has both the relationships and the momentum to lead what comes next. \nThat success is a reminder of how change actually happens. Not through any single organization or sector acting alone\, but through broad partnership\, diverse perspectives\, and aligned action around shared goals. We are convening that conversation\, and we want you at the table. Join us for a luncheon discussion that brings together healthcare leaders\, business voices\, and policymakers to shape the future of Greater Albuquerque’s economic competitiveness. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register Now!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Program URL:https://www.abq.org/event/2026-health-strategy-luncheon/ LOCATION:Sandia Golf Club\, 30 Rainbow Rd\, Albuquerque\, NM\, 87113\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.abq.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Health-Strat-Website-Pages-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20261112T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20261112T210000 DTSTAMP:20260504T164511Z CREATED:20260430T164512Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260504T164511Z UID:246669-1794504600-1794517200@www.abq.org SUMMARY:AREA's Annual Dinner and 505 Awards DESCRIPTION:Visit our official Annual Dinner & 505 Awards page: https://www.abq.org/505awards/ URL:https://www.abq.org/event/areas-annual-dinner-and-505-awards/ LOCATION:Sandia Resort and Casino\, 30 Rainbow Road\, Albuquerque\, NM\, 87113\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.abq.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Events-Featured-Images.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
