FY 2020 annual report

A Y E A R L I K E N O O T H E R 27 W hile FY2020 was certainly a year like no other due to the coronavirus pandemic and the significantly more than usual multitude of changes than those that NJAMHAA members normally contend with, one thing that remains consistent and has been unwavering since NJAMHAA was founded in 1951 is the association’s dedication to supporting all members through its advocacy, communications and training events. For nearly 70 years, NJAMHAA has established strong relationships with members and relies on members’ insights to inform advocacy and maximize its impact. NJAMHAA has been equally successful in developing productive alliances with other stake- holder groups and representatives of the state and federal governments, which have greatly contrib- uted to the profound impact the association has achieved on legislation, regulations and policies. Whether a year is “typical” – if such a thing exists – or a year like no other, as FY2020 has been as a result of the pandemic and the death of George Floyd leading to the outcry of equality for Black Americans and social justice, NJAMHAA will always stand strong on behalf of its members and those they serve.
