What some of our members say about their experience with MPHA:
“MPHA provides an outlet for advocacy, making it easy for me to be involved. The policy committee saves me time by keeping track of health related issues going through the Legislature each year.”
– State employee
“For a long time, just having ‘MPHA member’ on my resume was worth the annual fee, but getting involved with a committee has been rewarding and has given me experience that helps my career.”
– Governing council member
“MPHA’s annual conference is a good way to find out what colleagues are up to in other parts of the state. The policy forums are timely and thoughtfully address important public health topics.”
– Metro MPHA member
