It was a pleasure to attend the Massachusetts Public Health Alliance Spring Awards breakfast this morning. Their honorees included Cheryl Sbarra of the Massachusetts Association of Health Boards, and Fitchburg Epidemiologist Victoria Selser, among other amazing public health champions. It was a thrill to be in a space with so many public health advocates and to see local public health heroes shine!

As the fiscal year wraps up, we encourage you to check on any outstanding training invoices, and to confirm your MHOA membership by logging into your account if you're planning to spend FY25 funds. MHOA membership runs on a calendar year basis at this time so could be paid with FY25 or FY26 funds. We will begin the transition to a fiscal year membership July 1, 2026. You also need to be a current MHOA member to take advantage of early bird conference registration that expires at the end of the month, so make sure you're not missing out! Contact Us if you have questions.
