Welcome

The New Mexico Governor’s Commission on Disability works with state, private and non-profit agencies and organizations in an effort to develop policies and practices that are beneficial to people with disabilities in New Mexico.

We welcome all comments and concerns regarding disability in the state of New Mexico.

Please visit the rest of our website and take advantage of the many things we have to offer.

Mission Statement

The mission of the New Mexico Governor's Commission on Disability is to ensure that all people, regardless of disability, can participate fully in mainstream society. We accomplish this mission by addressing barriers - physical, programmatic and attitudinal - that may keep a person with a disability from enjoying what society has to offer.

Even though the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990 giving people with disabilities the same civil rights protections against discrimination as other minority and disenfranchised groups, GCD finds that there are still many barriers to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" that many other people are able to take for granted. As a result, GCD acts in the role as disability advisor to the Governor and Legislature to ensure that policies are enacted and followed to benefit New Mexican's with disabilities.
