Last night, MHAMD hosted the 2019 Legislative Briefing and Reception at the Hotel Annapolis, and it proved to be an evening we will not soon forget. We honored a distinguished group of behavioral health champions in former Maryland senators Edward Kasemeyer and Thomas “Mac” Middleton, Delegate Sheree Sample-Hughes, and the Maryland Behavioral Health Administration’s Tom Merrick. We heard from a bipartisan group of legislators on behavioral health legislation being considered by the Maryland General Assembly. And the evening concluded with a moving keynote from mental health advocate Sue Klebold. We would like to thank everyone who joined us in person or on social media. We also extend a thank you to all of our generous supporters! We look forward to next year.
