News/Info

Greetings to the NewsMAC readership!

I hope the beginning of the year has treated everyone well. I will be the New Mexico Archaeological Council (NMAC) president for the year, and I am excited to build on our past successes. We ended 2024 with a highly successful Annual Meeting, and the 2025 meeting is being planned as we speak. More details will be forthcoming in future NewsMACs and on the organization website. The success and high participation in last year’s meeting means that NMAC is financially well-equipped to tackle the new year.

The NMAC executive committee held their first quarterly meeting in early March. NMAC is still working with various agencies to create workshops useful for archaeological professionals in New Mexico, and more details will be provided as plans are solidified for workshops later in the year.

I know many archaeological professionals in New Mexico are concerned about the impact the new federal administration might have on archaeological compliance nationwide, and the NMAC Legislative Committee is closely monitoring new developments in, and changes to, federal guidance and policy. The NMAC executive committee will discuss any developments that might have adverse effects on the profession and individuals within it.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support of NMAC and participation in NMAC events.
Sincerely,

Evan Giomi
2025 NMAC President
