 Seminar 4- Santa Fe Understanding the State Political Processes of the 56 th New Mexico Legislature at the Roundhouse The first lesson learned was everyone kept saying, “It’s a 30-day session.” In my mind, I wanted to know what that meant right away. Little did we, the New Mexico Agricultural Leadership (NMAL) Class 16, knew they are attending the 56 th New Mexico Legislature 30-day session instead of a 60-day session at the Roundhouse. Right away, it seems when it is a 60-day session, there is a lot more action (more bills) at the Santa Fe Roundhouse. The NM Legislature began on January 16 th and ended on February 15, 2024. Class 16 was at the Roundhouse on February 5-7, 2024. The first day of the NMAL Seminar started with an overview of the legislative session. This was well presented by Candie Sweetser. She works for the New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA) as a government affairs manager. She shared with Class 16 the bills she monitors for NMDA. Some of those bil...

 Seminar 3- Social Issues & Cultural Awareness Albuquerque, NM  November 29- December 1, 2023 Photos of interest during our time in Albuquerque, NM I was assigned to write about the  Veterans Integration Center of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here is the newsletter that I wrote. No photos for this assignment.  Did you know that the Veterans Integration Center(VIC) is not associated with the actual U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)? It was a big surprise to learn that the VIC is a unique non-profit organization and a resource for Veterans and their families in New Mexico. According to the VIC website https://www.nmvic.org/who-we-are , this program was founded in 2005. On November 30, 2023, the New Mexico Agricultural Leadership (NMAL) Class 16 explored the VIC located at 1335 Ortiz Drive SE, Apt 3, Albuquerque, New Mexico (NM). There are two additional VIC locations in Albuquerque (Central and Wyoming) and one in Alamogordo, NM. Our host, Lisa Martinez, expla...

 July 10, 2023- Monday Hi. Welcome to Bernadette's first blog. What was the most interesting? The most interesting of Seminar 1 was the orientation and the introductions. When we all first met one another. We each introduced ourselves to one another. What topics do you want to know more about? I would like to know more about the state of New Mexico's top five exports and imports. I would like to know more about the political process from the state level to the national level. I would like to know more about the agricultural industries in New Mexico (NM). For example, the cheese factories or shrimp farms (if NM has any). How will you apply this experience/knowledge to your professional and/or personal life? I will apply and share this experience/knowledge in my job, and in general to family and friends. The agricultural field is so vast that you cannot know everything. The New Mexico Agricultural Leadership (NMAL) program has six areas of focus and through Seminar 1 we have alre...
