Maggie Hart Stebbins has resigned as New Mexico’s Natural Resources Trustee, effective March 13, after more than six years in the position, according to a statement from the governor’s office. Rebecca Roose, who serves as Senior Infrastructure Advisor for the governor’s office, will take over as Acting Trustee for the Office of Natural Resources Trustee on the same date.
Hart Stebbins previously served as a Bernalillo County Commissioner before leading the Office of Natural Resources Trustee. Her departure marks a transition in leadership at an office that plays a key role in managing natural resource issues for the state.
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham thanked Hart Stebbins for her service. The New Mexico State Executive facilitates public engagement through appointment applications and handles requests for assistance, events, and records as part of its executive branch responsibilities, according to the official website.
The executive branch operates from Room 400 on the fourth floor of the New Mexico State Capitol at 490 Old Santa Fe Trail in Santa Fe, as reported by the official website. The state government promotes public service careers to support its administrative goals and features Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham alongside Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales and cabinet secretaries overseeing areas such as health and education.
The New Mexico State Executive focuses its operations on serving residents across New Mexico and offers programs including early childhood education initiatives, infrastructure tracking efforts, and measures to combat food insecurity, according to information available on its official website.
