Musgrave proudly shares how they orchestrated an impactful election campaign, which led to further awards from the American Society of Association Executives and AGC for public relations and political engagement. As Musgrave and Schwab prepare to fly to San Diego to collect yet another award for their overdose prevention program, Musgrave emphasizes that the key to their continued success lies in cultivating the next generation of leaders.“Our board members are starting to age out,” he says, noting that board terms are limited to ensure fresh ideas and perspectives are continually brought into the fold. He is proud to report that the association has a waitlist to join the board of directors, but he remains vigilant in keeping the momentum alive.
