I am honored to share that I’ve been selected to receive the Behavioral Health Advocacy Award at the upcoming MHNE 2025 Leadership Awards Reception, taking place on Wednesday, May 21st at 12:00 PM at the NYU Kimmel Center in New York City.

I will be accepting this award on behalf of the NYS Council and all of our members who tirelessly fight for the resources and tools we need to serve tens of thousands of New Yorkers each day, and to keep the promises we have made to our local communities.   

This is also an opportunity to honor the important work of Ira and David Minot —founders of Mental Health News. I hope you will consider supporting the event.

The afternoon will begin with a networking reception and buffet lunch, followed by an awards presentation honoring several of our inspiring colleagues. You can visit MHNE.org/Awards to learn more about my fellow honorees and to purchase sponsorships, tickets, journal ads, and more in support of MHNE’s mission—improving lives and care delivery for the autism and behavioral health communities.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for your fierce dedication to our collective mission. I am so privileged to represent your organization.
