Supreme Court Committees and Commissions created to improve the Adult Guardianship/Conservatorship System in New Mexico.
The legislature passed House Bill 234 in 2021, directing the Supreme Court to establish the Working Interdisciplinary Network of Guardianship Stakeholders (WINGS) to provide ongoing evaluation of New Mexico laws, services and practices related to adult guardianship and conservatorship. The Network is comprised of a partnership of stakeholders which includes two protected persons under a guardianship, a family member (not appointed as a guardian or conservator), a professional guardian, a professional conservator, and representatives of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government.
Under the new state law, the duties of WINGS are to:
A. identify strengths and weaknesses in New Mexico’s system of adult guardianship and
conservatorship;
B. identify the least restrictive decision-making options for alleged incapacitated persons
and protected persons under guardianship and conservatorship;
C. review national standards on guardianship and conservatorship practices and
recommend standards for implementation in New Mexico;
D. proposed methods of training guardians and conservators in best practices or adopted
standards;
E. recommend outreach, education and training as needed; and
F. serve as an ongoing problem-solving mechanism to enhance the quality of care and quality of life for adults who are or may soon be in the guardianship or conservatorship
system.
The Supreme Court appointed 24 initial members to the Working Interdisciplinary Network of Guardianship Stakeholders (WINGS) on August 3, 2021. After initial appointments, members shall serve staggered four-year terms and may be reappointed.
The following are the 24 appointed members of the Network and when their terms of appointment expire:
