Senator Max Baucus, Lora Wier, Ginger Roll  & Senator Jon Tester

During a recent trip to Washington, D.C., to attend the annual APHA Conference
and Exposition, Lora Wier, MPHA  Executive Secretary and Ginger Roll, MPHA President,

had the opportunity to spend some time with Senators from Montana, Max Baucus and Jon Tester. The occasion was one of the weekly early morning "Meet and Greets" provided by the Senators and their staff. Among the host of Montanans taking part in the opportunity, Lora and Ginger were fortunate enough to speak with each senator personally and to spend some quality time with their staffmembers. A number of important public health issues were discussed; the meetingopened the door to further communication between the esteemed senators from Montana and their constituents representing public health at home.
