STAFF REPORT:

SANTA FE—The Los Alamos Daily Post Newspaper and other small businesses from across the state were recognized last Sunday at a reception at the El Dorado Hotel in Santa Fe and Monday during a special ceremony and recognition by state legislators at the State Capital .

The two-day whirlwind of festivities was part of America’s Small Business Development Center New Mexico Network (NMSBDC) celebration marking 25 years of assisting New Mexico businesses grow, evolve and take charge of their future.

The Los Alamos Daily Post is owned and operated by Publisher/Editor Carol A. Clark, who launched the online newspaper Feb. 7, 2012 from her Los Alamos home. The newspaper now delivers “Los Alamos News at Lightning Speed” throughout New Mexico, across the nation and around the world from its headquarters at 1247 Central Ave., in downtown Los Alamos.

With Lifestyles Editor Bonnie J. Gordon, Social Media Editor Chris Clark, writers Kirsten Laskey and KayLinda Crawford, photographers Sal Zapien and Leland Lehman, numerous columnist and contributors and assistance from a growing army of community volunteers, the Los Alamos Daily Post has expanded its readership into 129 countries.

“I thank our entire news team for their continued effort toward excellence every day and extend our appreciation to the community for the incredible support we have received since publishing our first edition,” Clark said. “I also want to thank the Los Alamos SBDC for providing the assistance necessary to establish and grow the Los Alamos Daily Post over the last three years. I encourage anyone thinking about starting a business or wishing to take their business to the next level to contact SBDC Director Ted Lopez at UNM-LA to discuss the variety of important resources available – most of which are provided at no charge.”

The NMSBDC is a national accredited network offering local, national and global business resources. The New Mexico SBDC program is the state’s largest small business assistance program offering no-cost consulting, low-cost training and market research for all types of business at all stages of business development.

“The New Mexico Small Business Development Center (NMSBDC) assists hundreds of New Mexico’s existing small businesses with the technical management expertise needed to succeed and grow,” State Director Russell Wyrick said. “When our small businesses grow, new jobs are created, jobs that are more likely to stay right here in New Mexico, because it’s home to the entrepreneurs who created them. NMSBDC is out to make a meaningful impact on the economic wellbeing of our clients and our state. For more than 25 years, the NMSBDC Network has made a meaningful difference in the lives of New Mexicans, and the communities we call home.”
