What Others are Saying 

Daniel Graves, DWI Coordinator
“NM EDGE provided me with a wide range of classes and the flexibility to complete them on my schedule. Through the classes I have taken from NM EDGE, I have been able to add to my skills from previous jobs to make me a better supervisor and leader. Now that I have completed this coursework, I know Grant County has increased faith in my abilities, as well as our programs, to make this community safer.” I look forward to providing my team with information and education that was received through NM EDGE and encourage our staff to participate in programs offered.” 

Elly Hollon, Continuum & DWI Coordinator
“The experience and insights I've gained from the certification program will allow me to effectively assess and enhance the county's DWI program strategies, refine intervention services, and implement evidence based initiatives.”

Stephanie Sarate, Grants Manager
“One thing that I loved about the NM EDGE programs is that I was in the same class as my co-workers and others in the same occupation, so I was able to ask questions without feeling like I may be the only person with questions. I have gained a better understanding of what is expected as a DWI Coordinator and camaraderie from all of the other students who are also trying to get their DWI Coordinator certification. NM EDGE is such a wonderful program and I just wish everyone would participate in the programs offered.”
