Dear colleagues,

We have quite a few newsletter items this week, and plans are in the works for a great 2026 with MHOA.

The Board of Directors gathered on Thursday for its annual retreat. This in person meeting was a great opportunity to reflect on 2025 accomplishments and plan for the future. We'll continue to share updates in this space, and look forward to bringing you lots of great MHOA programming, advocacy, and opportunities to connect. Ensure you don't miss out - renew your 2026 membership!

I'll leave you for the long weekend with this fun video from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Three Guys from Boston (Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jimmy) Say Every Town and City in Massachusetts.

Thanks to the Massachusetts Municipal Association for sharing it as a part of promoting the annual conference, Connect 351. I'll be there next week at the Coalition for Local Public Health booth #107! Stop by if you're attending, or encourage your town staff who are to check out our interactive booth.

Have a great weekend,

Teresa Wood Kett, executive director
