NMRC recently had the pleasure of hosting the Mississippi Department of Mental Health Board Meeting and celebrating the retirements of Mr. James G. “Bo” Chastain, Director of Mississippi State Hospital and Mr. Clint Ashley, Director of Boswell Regional Center. Together, these dedicated leaders have contributed more than six decades of service to Mississippi’s behavioral health and intellectual/developmental disability system, leaving a lasting impact on countless lives. We are grateful for their commitment and wish them the very best in retirement. Special thanks to The Graduate By Hilton Oxford for graciously hosting a portion of the meeting and helping make the event a success.
