| Co-Chair, Madison AndersonWhy did you join MPHA?
MPHA is a great place to make connections and advocate for change. What are you most looking forward to in the next year for MPHA? This next year I'm looking forward to engaging with more members to gain an understanding of interdisciplinary approaches to improving health. What is your favorite thing about Minnesota? We as Minnesotans embrace change - there's a constant reframing of what is acceptable to better meet the needs of all Minnesotans. |

| Co-Chair, Sara RogersWhy did you join MPHA? I joined MPHA to find and be a part of a community. What are you most looking forward to in the next year for MPHA? In the upcoming year in MPHA, I am most excited about our work to advance health equity, racial equity, and anti-racism action. What is your favorite thing about Minnesota? The month of May! I absolutely love it and its 70 degree days, open windows, and the lilacs, neon green grass, and bright sun! |
