A Message from the President
Greetings, I invite you to join your Michigan State Medical Society Alliance. MSMSA understands the unique challenges that accompany life in a medical family. Alliance members from all over Michigan gather for state meetings to build lifelong friendships and offer support. Enjoy the benefits of diversity. You will make valuable connections with Alliance members of different ages, ethnicities, religions and opinions. The state Alliance has opportunities to enhance your leadership skills and nourish your personal growth. Join other Alliance members who strive to protect the future of medicine through legislative advocacy. In fact, the Alliance often speaks louder and clearer to legislators than our busy spouses!

I initially joined the Alliance to connect with other medical spouses, for the friendships and the support. I stayed in the Alliance because of all the personal growth, the leadership skills BUT most importantly, making a difference in the community through services and activities such as promoting literacy, supporting domestic violence shelters, promoting healthy living, anti-bullying among many, many other services that the Alliance performs to the community.

I first became involved with MSMSA when I served as a county president. I truly enjoyed meeting and working with compassionate leaders from all over our state.
