Dear Colleagues,
Please join us for our next
New Mexico Food & Agriculture Policy Council, Wednesday, July 22nd. Please
RSVP
for the meeting.
As we are facing, growing from, and moving through life changing issues, food and agriculture are at the center of this change, which can have positive outcomes for New Mexico. The NM Food & Agriculture Policy Council is focused on opportunities to support systemic change, with initiatives and policies that will create and expand economic, social, health, and community well-being.
Please join us for our next meeting, which will include an informative presentation by two of the most learned leaders in the legislative process,
David Abbey, Director of the NM Legislative Finance Committee,
and
Barak Wolff, MPH, long time advocate and Legislative Staffer.
Abbey will talk about the year round legislative finance process and Wolff will provide an inside perspective of the legislative process: preparing for the legislative session, and especially what happens during the legislative session.
A majority of our meeting will focus on preparing for post Special Session outcomes and 2021. We will begin to set the stage for our legislative process and sharing legislative priority ideas. We welcome legislative issues for discussion and consideration. We encourage those who wish to introduce legislation to fill out our
Legislative Proposal Submission Form.
We will send the final agenda and materials a week in advance of the July 22 meeting. We're looking forward to your ideas and participation.
Warmest regards,
Pam Roy
