Dignitaries Breakfasts

As part of MSSA Region 9's commitment to public policy and advocacy, Dignitaries Breakfasts are held two to three times per year. State legislators, county commissioners, and health and human service agency directors (both public and private) are invited to have an open forum to discuss regional health and human service-related issues. This is a great opportunity for members to bring their thoughts and concerns directly to their lawmakers.
