Annual Meeting

Come to the NMRTA Annual Meeting, a Board Meeting That’s Anything but Boring.
Saturday, August 24, 2024 • 1PM to 3PM • The Lodge Pavilion

It’s our 30th Anniversary, so we are looking back, and looking forward to the next 30 Years.
Our featured presenters are Past-President Grady Nicholson and local historian Lynn Melton.
They will share their remembrances and adventures in the early days of NMRTA.
And what would a contemporary presentation be without Artificial Intelligence?
We’ll use it to look into the future, with financial projections, and an AI illustration of a pedestrian bridge across US 82 from the Village to the trailheads, among other things.
Very different things.
Thanks for all of your support over the years!
