Letter from Hampden District President
ACTIVELY RECRUITING NEW DELEGATES
for the 2 yearly meetings of the Massachusetts Medical Society
(1 meeting is virtual only)
Dear Colleagues,
Why serve?
Western Mass is not Boston. We want to ensure that the unique interests of our beautiful, but under served area are represented. You can be a part of that effort.
Could your voice help ensure that our interests are heard?
- As a delegate, you will meet colleagues from all over the state.
- As a delegate, you will have opportunities to influence colleagues, as well as state and federal legislatures.
- As a delegate, you protect public health and the interests of medical practitioners and patients. Hampden County is a special place, but does have smaller numbers of physicians than the Eastern part of the state.
In most districts, members of the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) compete for the privilege of representing their district's interest. By contrast, we are actively recruiting members willing to serve as delegates.
Similarly, MMS generally mandates term limits for those serving on district executive committees or on the Board of Trustees. Our hope is to welcome new participants. We, by contrast, eagerly await new participants with fresh ideas.
Please consider joining a great group of fellow physicians-delegates working to enhance health care for the benefit of patients and fellow physicians.
Sincerely,
Vicki Noble, MD
Hampden District President
