Richardson reappoints Conniff as NMSU regent

Gov. Bill Richardson today reappointed Laura Conniff to the New Mexico State University Board of Regents.

I reported in mid-December that he would do so.

“Laura has proven herself as an advocate who works in the best interest of NMSU, its students and faculty,” Richardson said in a news release. “She has earned another term on the Board of Regents, where I am confident that she will continue to move the university forward.”

Conniff, who earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from NMSU in 1974, recently completed her first a six-year term on the board. She was originally appointed by former Gov. Gary Johnson.

Conniff is a real estate broker and owner of Mathers Realty, Inc. in Las Cruces.
