Policy Advisory Committee
The ALTSD Policy Advisory Committee reflects the department’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for older New Mexicans and their families. It consists of appointed positions by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham from each region throughout the State.
The purpose of the PAC is to provide recommendations and raise awareness of the department’s initiatives aimed at improving services for New Mexico’s aging and long-term care community, as outlined by ALTSD.
