Legislative Committee

Chair: Patrick Ho, MD

The Legislative Committee identifies important and timely issues impacting psychiatric patients and practitioners in New Hampshire. With advocacy a priority among the society’s work, this committee promotes the support of policies that will enhance the well-being of our community.

Testifying on behalf of the NHPS in the New Hampshire Legislature or in the media requires formal pre-approval from the Legislative Committee and President of the NHPS. The NHPS puts careful thought into which bills it will and will not take action on in order to best advocate for the citizens of our state. Please consider joining the Legislative Committee if you would like to get more involved in NHPS supported advocacy.

Events Committee

Chair: Kathleen Duemling, MD

The Events Committee organizes CME events for members of the society, as well as arranging social events, such as the annual boat cruise and psych movie night, to promote community and collaboration among NHPS members.
