Maureen is inspired by the opportunity to lead an organization dedicated to solving one of the most pressing and important issues facing seniors today: how to live in one's own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably. Maureen oversees NAH's day-to-day operations and works closely with NAH's Board of Directors on strategic planning, community outreach, and financing. Previously, NAH's first member services coordinator, Maureen has lived in Newton for more than 27 years with her husband and two children.
