President's Welcome
Women Veterans
Greetings Lady Warriors. I am Liz Bryant, your Women Veterans of New Mexico (WVNM) President. I am a 34-year veteran who served our state and country with pride, passion and determination. I worked hard and overcame many challenges to serve ultimately as a Command Sergeant Major. I was the first female Battalion and Brigade Command Sergeant Major in the NM National Guard. I am proud to have been able to help pave the way for those hard-working women who follow, I will work as your president to continue this legacy.
I had the privilege to serve as the Women Veterans of New Mexico’s secretary for the last two years. When asked if I would consider running for president, I stepped up to serve. I believe that my passion and drive will help us continue to raise the bar on the foundation built by our predecessors.
As we begin 2024 with new board leadership, I wanted to share my vision and core values. I believe in communication and that knowledge is power only when you share it. Sharing knowledge from our board to you but also vice versa, from you to us ultimately benefits all our sister veterans. I want our organization to be embedded with our communities throughout our state, encouraging our women veterans to join us, sharing available resources, connecting and learning how to best support one another. I am driven to ensure that we are transparent in all that we do, marketing who we are by getting involved where we can, and being visible where we should in order to have our collective voices heard. We are stronger together. Let’s rise and be strong not only for each other but those future women warriors.
I pledge to our membership and all Women Veterans of New Mexico to serve you with pride, passion and heart and do my ultimate best to lead our Women veterans, making our organization shine not only in New Mexico but nationally.
I am excited to meet you and get to work, but I also encourage you to keep the faith, ask those hard questions, share your expertise and knowledge with us and communicate your needs. Our team serves YOU our Heroes !!!
Liz
