BOSTON — "I am honored to be elected to Chair the National Academy for State Health Policy's (NASHP) Academy. I have been proud to serve on the NASHP Executive Committee over the last ten years, joined by an incredible group of state leaders who have dedicated their time to this work with a shared passion for building and nurturing the broader state health policy community.  

“Health policy challenges are complex and daunting, and the urgency to develop and implement solutions has never been greater. I look forward to working with the NASHP community and our colleagues across the U.S. in this new capacity, so that we can continue to learn from each other, challenge each other, and inspire each other in the important work of improving the health and well-being of all people.”
