The Minnesota Social Service Association (MSSA) supports the health and human service profession through education, advocacy, and member benefits. The 2020-2021 Board of Directors has provided valued leadership to the association through a challenging year. 

Beyond serving on the board, there are many ways to get involved with MSSA throughout the year. If you have any questions about membership, our regional chapters, education and training, or our public policy and advocacy program please reach out to info@mnssa.org or a MSSA staff member.

A special thank you goes out to our Conference and Education Committee volunteers for their help in producing this conference!
