Senator Hickey sponsored the memorial, and the group was announced on the Senate floor and had the opportunity to speak with many legislators. Students attended a House Health and Human Services Committee meeting to witness legislative discussions firsthand. NMAAA board members led groups of SAAs in distributing “session survival kits” to every legislator, showcasing advocacy in action. One of the highlights of the day was the students’ interactions with state legislators and their staff, eloquently advocating for the profession and discussing their experiences as the first cohort of SAAs in New Mexico. Several practicing CAAs from Christus St. Vincent (Santa Fe) were also present, showing their support.</p> <p>We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all New Mexico legislators for their continuous support of healthcare in our state.</p><img src="https://nmaaa13.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/IMG-20250204-WA0089.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"><img src="https://nmaaa13.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/PHOTO-2025-02-03-11-02-19%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"><img src="https://nmaaa13.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/PHOTO-2025-02-03-11-29-03.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"><img src="https://nmaaa13.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/IMG-20250204-WA0028.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"><img src="https://nmaaa13.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/IMG-20250220-WA0011.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"><img src="https://nmaaa13.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/IMG-20250204-WA0012.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"><img src="https://nmaaa13.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/CAA%20Day%20CAAsPHOTO-2025-02-03-11-11-14.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"><img src="https://nmaaa13.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/memorial%202025PHOTO-2025-02-03-16-35-14.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"> <p><br></p> https://www.newmexicoaaa.org/13465634 https://www.newmexicoaaa.org/13465634 Kate Sat, 03 Feb 2024 13:14:33 GMT <p>Senator Hickey sponsored a memorial naming 1/22/24 CAA day in the New Mexico senate.
