Meet Your City of Santa Fe Tribal Liaison, Deborah Torres
Deborah Torres is a dedicated advocate for New Mexico’s tribal communities, with extensive experience in tourism, legislative affairs, and community development. As a leader in Native American tourism initiatives, Deborah has worked closely with tribes to promote cultural preservation, economic growth, and meaningful representation.
With a deep understanding of tribal governance, policy, and intergovernmental relations, Deborah is committed to fostering strong partnerships between tribal nations and government entities. Additionally, Deborah has played a key role in assisting Native American entrepreneurs in overcoming challenges in starting and growing their businesses, providing guidance on funding opportunities, regulatory processes, and sustainable business strategies.
