“Anytime agencies can join one another in a coordinated effort to provide quality service to our most vulnerable populations, whose needs cross multiple systems, we ensure New Mexicans receive the effective and positive support they deserve from our state government,” Colón said. “As State Auditor, and as a New Mexican who cares deeply for the people in our great state, I am thrilled to participate in the Dream Bigger Summit hosted by the Office of Attorney General.”
Treasurer Eichenberg echoed: “The State Treasurer’s Office is proud to be a part of the Dream Bigger Summit.
