Please Complete the NM
Well-Being Committee's Survey
The NM Well-Being Committee was established in 2020 by the State Bar of New Mexico's Board of Bar Commissioners and is a standing committee that encompasses different legal areas across the State. All members have a well-being focus and concern with respect to the NM legal community. It is this Committee’s goal to examine and create initiatives centered around well-being. This includes mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and substance use struggles.
To that end, the Committee hopes that you will take a few minutes to complete its 2021 well-being survey if you have not already done so. The survey is anonymous and the Committee will only gather generalized information to assist in pursuing initiatives for the improvement of the well-being of the legal community and its members. The survey will be open until November 30, 2021. Thank you for taking a few moments to complete the survey.
