Governor Appoints New Workers' Compensation Administration Director
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has appointed Heather Jordan as the new Director of the Workers' Compensation Administration (WCA), effective immediately. Heather brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this critical role, and we are confident she will continue to lead the WCA in its mission to serve New Mexico's workers and employers with dedication and efficiency.
We would also like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to Robert Doucette, who has served as the Director of WCA with exceptional leadership and commitment. Under Robert's leadership, the WCA made significant strides in enhancing services and improving operational effectiveness.
