Earlier this week, members of the MAHPBA Board had a great session with Heather Hockenberry from Hockenberry Coaching and Consulting! She shared some really helpful insight on communication, working better together, and how we can continue making thoughtful decisions that best support our members. Thanks again, Heather, for a fun and informative session!
