I'm pleased to announce that VAHC has hired Anne Sosin as its Interim Director. Anne is a public health practitioner, researcher, and educator with a longstanding interest in affordable housing and homelessness. She brings nearly two decades of experience leading public health partnerships at the local, national, and International level. Her current research focuses on COVID-19 and rural health equity in Northern New England, and she is working with several coalition members on studies. Anne holds a BA from Dartmouth College and a MPH from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I encourage you to read her recent commentary in VTDigger. Anne is jumping right in, working with Necrason Group to come up to speed in the next few weeks as the Legislative session begins.
I hope you can attend the Coalition Meeting on January 11 to say hello to Anne and get an update.
Happy New Year!
Michelle Kersey, VAHC Chair
