SANTA FE – The National Association of State Budget Officers (NASBO) has selected New Mexico to host its 2026 Spring Conference, bringing top public finance officials and policy experts from across the country to Santa Ana Pueblo’s Tamaya Resort next March.
“We’re honored to welcome our counterparts from across the country to New Mexico,” said DFA Sec. Wayne Propst. “This is an opportunity to showcase New Mexico’s fiscal leadership and learn from the best minds in state government.”
The multiple day event will feature keynote panels, workshops, and strategy sessions focused on state budgeting, fiscal policy, and government financial management. It’s one of the premier gatherings of state budget leaders nationwide.
“This is a big moment for New Mexico,” said Dr. Andrew Miner, DFA state budget division director. “We’re proud to host this event and showcase the progress New Mexico is making in budget transparency, innovation, and fiscal responsibility.”
Dr. Miner also serves as Western Regional Director on NASBO’s 2024–2025 executive committee, helping to shape national conversations on public budgeting, and in 2024 was selected to train new budget analysts from around the country at NASBO’s annual Introduction to State Budgeting Seminar.
DFA is an active member of NASBO, and its staff regularly participate in trainings, conferences, and peer exchanges. Hosting 2026’s spring conference provides a unique opportunity to highlight New Mexico’s fiscal leadership while supporting local hospitality and tourism at one of the state’s most scenic venues.
