2024 Legislative Issue Briefing and Bishop’s Luncheon!

LAM-NM is excited to invite you to our annual Legislative Issue Briefing and Bishop’s Luncheon. There are changes to locations for each event this year but the event content will remain similar to previous years. The  2024 Issue Briefing and Bishop’s Luncheon will take place on January 23, 2024. 

We are very grateful to First Presbyterian Church of Santa Fe, a long-time member of our advocating congregations program for their willingness to host the morning Legislative Issue Briefing. Following the briefing participants will move to the La Posada de Santa Fe Hotel for the Bishop’s Luncheon.

Here is the schedule for the day:

  • 8:45-9:15 a.m. Check-in, refreshments, and fellowship time at First Presbyterian
  • 9:15 a.m. Welcome and opening reflection
  • 9:30 a.m. Guest Speakers
  • 11:00 a.m. Bishop Jim Gonia
  • 11:15 a.m. Legislative Issue Briefing
  • Noon – 12:15 p.m. Arrive at La Posada
  • 12:30 p.m. Bishop’s Luncheon Begins
  • 2:00 p.m. Luncheon concludes

The registration cost per person remains the same as last year at $40 per person. However, the week before the event and beginning on January 16th, the registration cost is $45 per person.

Please register and buy your tickets HERE!

(Please note, this is not a fund-raiser as the registration charge simply covers the anticipated cost for the luncheon.)

These events are always special and well worth your attendance. This year’s events will however be the final ones for our current Bishop, Jim Gonia. Bishop Gonia has been a true champion of our synod’s state-level advocacy work here in New Mexico as well as in Colorado and Utah. I hope you will join us in expressing our gratitude for his support and involvement over the last 12 years at the Luncheon.

We are excited and looking forward to seeing you at the 2024 Issue Briefing and Bishop’s Luncheon!
