Your Voice Matters.
Join MAHCP President Jason Linklater, Executive Director Keely Richmond, and members of your union’s Executive Council for our 2026 General Meeting of the Association, our first Biennial General Meeting.
As a democratic, member-driven association, MAHCP counts on members’ participation to strengthen our organization and help set our course for the future. The 2026 Biennial General Meeting (BGM) is your opportunity to hear directly from union leadership, weigh in on important decisions, and help determine MAHCP’s strategic direction for the years ahead.
Members may attend in person or via Zoom. During the meeting, we will:
- Share highlights and updates from the past year
- Review our financial position
- Host a resolutions debate
- Draw for prizes
…and more!
MAHCP members attending the event in person will receive a code to defray onsite parking fees. Select CMHR Galleries will be open for complimentary viewing for two hours prior to the meeting (from 5:00 to 7:00 PM). Please consider joining us early to take advantage.
NOTE: All MAHCP members are invited to attend the BGM. To participate in the proceedings (speak and/or vote at the meeting), you must be a Member in Good Standing*. For a complete definition of MAHCP membership categories and the privileges associated with each type, see Articles 505 and 506 of the MAHCP Constitution. Only Members in Good Standing will be entered into our prize draws. Prize draws will occur after the meeting concludes, and winners must be present for the entirety of the meeting to win.
REMINDER: We’ve heard about teams hosting ‘viewing parties’ for virtual events. Please keep in mind that if you are a Member in Good Standing and you’re viewing the BGM in a group setting, you will need to log in to the meeting on your personal device to vote and be eligible to win a prize.
