Bob Stuewe, left, of the Prime Contract Office (PCO), shakes hands with Gov. Bill Richardson at a presentation in the Governor's Office in Santa Fe last week. Representatives from Quality New Mexico presented a facsimile check to the governor representing the in-kind dollar value to the state of QNM volunteers who teach "quality principles" to private businesses and public sector entities. At the presentation, Richardson reiterated the value of Quality New Mexico to the state in terms of promoting economic competitiveness. The Laboratory participated as a Diamond Award recipient from QNM. At least six Lab employees are Quality New Mexico examiners this year. Also shown is Teresa Trujillo, loaned executive from the Laboratory to QNM.
