JANUARY 2026: PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Peter Dickinson
Hello Humanists!
Well, it’s been quite a year. Looking back, I find it a little hard to believe how much has happened in just 12 months. I think it’s safe to say that this year will have a prominent place in future history books, not just for the terrible things that happened, but also for the way so many people responded with outrage and compassion.
I am proud and humbled to be part of just such a group of people. We have seen a lot of positive changes in HSNM this year. More than 50 new members have joined; we’ve revamped our website and our email system; we’ve connected with humanist communities across New Mexico; and initiated some organizational changes to help us take care of each other and reach out to the communities we live in.
I am excited to see how we will continue to grow in 2026, and how we Will help make New Mexico a better place for everyone who lives here. Most of all I look forward to sharing that journey with all of you.
