Thank you for your interest in Clovis, New Mexico. I've had the opportunity of living and working in Clovis most of my life and there's no place I'd rather be. I invite you to explore all the opportunities Clovis can off you, your family, or your business, and I think you may feel just the same.
I invite residents and visitors alike to celebrate Clovis' rich history and heritage throughout the year as we celebrate out 100th anniversary.

Yet, our citinzenry and community spirit makes us one of the vibrant and progressive mid-size cities in New Mexico.

Chamber Welcome
Greetings and welcome to Portales and Roosevelt County, the “Warm Heart of the Sunbelt”. On behalf of the Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank you for your interest in our vibrant community. I would like to extend a personal invitation to come explore and experience the high quality of life that Portales and Roosevelt County have to offer.
Portales is affectionately referred to as the “Gateway to a Good Life”, and this statement can not be more accurate. Portales was recently recognized by a national business journal as ranking #15 for overall quality of life among 577 micropolitan communities nationwide. Our community is home to Eastern New Mexico University, the third largest 4 year university in the state. ENMU is one of our greatest assets in offering high quality education, many exciting events including performing arts and athletics, and is the largest employer in Roosevelt County. Portales welcomes with open arms the military families of Cannon Air Force Base, which is located just 11 miles north of our city. Portales is home to a new and state of the art Roosevelt General Hospital that offers high quality healthcare. A successful and growing industrial park that is home to Abengoa Bioenergy, ethanol production, Southwest Canners, Coca-Cola product manufacturer, DairiConcepts, milk processing, and Milk Transport Services, milk transportation. Each of these industries offers competitive wages and valuable benefit packages. Portales Municipal School District offers top quality education to the youth of our community. There are 4 elementary schools, Portales Junior High, Portales High School, and an alternative learning school. To compliment the public schools is a private Christian school.
The Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to fostering a business friendly environment in our community, as we are most certainly a community on the grow. The chamber helps to promote the community by sponsoring several events throughout the year. These events include the New Mexico Ag Expo, the largest agricultural expo in the state, Heritage Days celebration held in June each year, Fourth of July fireworks along with the inaugural BBQ cook off this year, annual quilt festival, and Peanut Valley festival. There is always something exciting happening in our community. Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce works closely with the Portales MainStreet organization in efforts to revitalize the historic downtown of Portales. Portales MainStreet is an organization dedicated to downtown revitalization and a major force in bringing new small businesses to the vibrant downtown. Thanks to the joint efforts downtown Portales is a vibrant and enjoyable place to work, dine, and shop.
In conclusion, thank you again for your interest in Portales and Roosevelt County. There are so many great attributes to our community that I would encourage anyone to come and visit and see all the great amenities we have to offer. The Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce means business, business growth, and business success.
