New Mexico Petroleum Marketers

The New Mexico Petroleum Marketers are part of the Western Petroleum Marketers Association (WPMA), a regional trade association that encompasses several states including New Mexico. WPMA itself was formed from the merger of various state associations, with New Mexico joining in January 1992[2].

Overview

The WPMA, including its New Mexico segment, serves as a trade organization for petroleum marketers. It is involved in providing resources and services to its members, including education and training, while promoting business ethics and a positive industry image[1]. The association also engages in governmental advocacy to benefit the industry and participates in national issues through the Energy Marketers of America (EMA)[2].

Objectives

The objectives of WPMA align with those of its constituent state groups, focusing on:

• Providing educational opportunities and resources to enhance business operations[1].
• Encouraging ethical practices and a positive public image in the petroleum marketing sector[1].
• Influencing legislative and regulatory matters affecting the industry[1].
• Offering cost-effective services to members[1].

Structure

The WPMA is composed of eight state associations, each with its own leadership structure. New Mexico, like other member states, participates in WPMA's national activities while maintaining state-level organization and representation[2].

Participation in the Energy Industry

New Mexico Petroleum Marketers, as part of the WPMA, contribute to the broader efforts to promote and support petroleum marketers across the region. Their involvement in the WPMA reflects the association's goal to enhance business effectiveness and profitability for its members through collective action and resource sharing[3].
