Our June Zoom Lunch with a Leader will be with State Land Commissioner, Stephanie Garcia Richard.

 

The purpose of the State Land Commission is to provide funding for the schools and other public institutions. Our own Stephanie Garcia Richard was the first woman, first Latina, and the first educator elected to this position in the history of New Mexico. She oversees 9 million surface acres and 13 million mineral acres. The Commission makes money by leasing state trust land for a multitude of purposes including gas and oil, renewable energy, agriculture, and a broad array of commercial uses.
