Our Commission
The State of New Mexico Commission for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (NMCDHH) was established in 1991 by the New Mexico Legislature (NMSA 1978 ยง28-11B-2) to promote services for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf-Blind people throughout New Mexico.
The Commission Board is comprised of seven members, with the majority being Deaf or Hard of Hearing by requirement. Among the seven members, three are ex-officio members representing specified organizations and agencies, and four are governor appointed without regard to party affiliation and with the Senate's advice and consent.
