MTNA Leadership Summit 2022
Somehow, in my four or five terms as State President (two in Maine and at least two in Mass.,) I’ve missed out on the Leadership Summit held in Cincinnati - a very intense weekend of education on governance, policy and member benefits of MTNA. State Presidents, Division Directors, Division Directors-Elect, MTNA Staff and National Officers all gather to explore what we can do for our members. This year, the first live summit since pre-COVID, the sessions were jam-packed with information. Even after 45 years of MTNA membership, there was a lot for me to learn. Most notable is how much is offered to MMTA members through our national affiliation! A special highlight was a tour of the gleaming offices of MTNA.
