The MAHA Board of Directors

Any volunteer and/or auxiliary member of a member hospital is eligible for election or appointment to the MAHA Board.  The six District Presidents are automatically members of the MAHA Board, making possible more links in the chain of communication with local auxiliaries.  A leadership file is maintained for the use of the nominating committee of the MAHA Board which is constantly seeking new and interested prospective members.  The file is maintained by the MAHA Public Relations Director.

Progress Based on Heritage

In 1948 the need for an association of hospital auxiliaries became apparent and under the impetus of the Michigan Hospital Association and a temporary planning committee, an organized meeting was held in Grand Rapids in November, 1948.  Eighty women representing twenty hospitals heard speakers describe aims of state hospital auxiliary associations and their value to hospitals.  This meeting resulted in the birth of MAHA.  Each year since, this organization has grown in experience, in stature and in membership.  The members of the Board of the MAHA consider it a duty and a privilege to help realize and fulfill the goals and objectives of the MAHA, just as it is the duty and privilege of each member auxiliary to fulfill the goals and objectives of that institution which it serves.  The MAHA president is a member of the Board of Trustees of MHA.
