Massey and her fellow officers take the helm during a particularly exciting time for MAHA. The Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA), the premier professional organization representing the interests of the Hispanic legal community in the United States, recently chose Boston as the site of its Annual Convention in 2016. MAHA will serve as the host bar association during the convention, the first Boston-based Annual Convention in the HNBA's 30-plus year history.
