Sept. 24, at the Garrey Carruthers State Library in Santa Fe on tribal issues, 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Sept. 28, at the Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum Theater in Las Cruces, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Sept. 30, at the SPO Auditorium in Santa Fe, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
There will also be a Medicaid Advisory Committee Oct. 19 in Room 309 at the State Capitol in Santa Fe.
