MARR had the pleasure of exhibiting at the 8th Annual Governor Janet Mills Opioid Response Summit in Bangor. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with partners from across the state, share the work MARR is doing to strengthen recovery housing in Maine.

We also want to take a moment to celebrate our Executive Director, Ron Springel, on receiving the Governor’s Award! This well-deserved recognition reflects Ron’s dedication and the incredible impact he’s had on recovery housing across Maine.

Congratulations, Ron!!

🎤 MARR was honored to attend and present at the 3rd Annual New England Recovery Housing Conference alongside our fellow New England NARR affiliates in Connecticut.

Our team had the privilege of leading presentations, participating in meaningful discussions, learning from outstanding training sessions, and connecting with recovery housing leaders from across the region. Opportunities like these strengthen our collective efforts to advance quality recovery housing and support recovery communities throughout New England.

We were also thrilled to have MARR Board Member and former staff member, Brittany Reichmann, join us. We are grateful for her continued support, dedication, and commitment to MARR’s mission.

A heartfelt thank you to the conference organizers, presenters, and attendees who made this event such a success. We left inspired and excited for the work ahead.
