The League of Women Voters monthly community event, Lunch with a Leader is slated for noon, Feb, 17, via Zoom. The leader will be Patrick Suddath, Superintendent of Bandelier National Monument since August 2021.

Born in Albuquerque, Suddath earned a Bachelor of Arts from New Mexico State University. He  has a strong background in cultural and natural resources. There is nothing more cultural than the Independence Natural Historic Park with the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall where he was deputy superintendent prior to coming to Bandelier.

Patrick began his career as a fire lookout and wild land firefighter in Mesa Verde National Park in 1989. He is happy to return home to New Mexico where he has many fond memories  growing up in Albuquerque and visiting the cliff dwellings of Bandelier, as well as hiking and skiing in the area that would become the Valles Caldera National Preserve.
