Who is a member?
Our members are the local governments of Massachusetts and their elected and appointed leadership.
Rachel Glisper, human resources director in Needham, gathers feedback from her fellow self-identified “discussion style” group members during a session on conflict resolution and how culture shapes what kind of style people adopt.
The Massachusetts Municipal Personnel Association will host a panel presentation on federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations and best practices for compliance at its meeting on Dec. 6 in Wrentham.
