LWV News:

The May 15 League of Women Voters of Los Alamos (LWV) event, Lunch with a Leader, will feature Think New Mexico Associate Director Kristina G. Fisher. 

The entire community is invited to this event that takes place noon to 1 p.m. at the Unitarian Fellowship Hall at 1738 N Sage Loop.

Fisher grew up in Santa Fe where both her parents worked as teachers. She was Valedictorian of her class at Santa Fe Prep, graduated Summa Cum Laude from Williams College, and earned her J.D. from the University of New Mexico School of Law, where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the Natural Resources Journal. She is a recipient of the national Morris K. and Stewart L. Udall Scholarship and the Harry S Truman Scholarship for Public Service.

Fisher has worked with Think New Mexico since 2002. She supervises the research and collaborates on the writing and graphic design of all Think New Mexico policy reports, as well as drafting the legislation to enact them. She also oversees the Leadership Internship program, which she helped create.

Beyond her work at Think New Mexico, Fisher is passionate about protecting, restoring and enjoying New Mexico’s natural environment. She served as president of the Santa Fe Watershed Association for nearly a decade, and is a leader of the all-volunteer Albuquerque Wildlife Federation, which organizes volunteer ecological restoration projects across the state. 

Fisher will speak about Think New Mexico’s most recent initiative to address the state’s critical shortage of health care workers. She will share an update on the progress made during this year’s legislative session to enact Think New Mexico’s policy recommendations, and next steps for building on that progress.
