He serves on the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Labor & Employment Section Council.

Monnin-Browder also trains employers on preventing and addressing harassment and discrimination in the workplace and promoting organizational excellence. In 2019, Monnin-Browder was the recipient of the Outstanding Young Lawyer Award by the Massachusetts Bar Association and named an “Up and Coming Lawyer” by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. In 2020, she was selected by the Women’s Bar Association for inclusion in its Women’s Leadership Initiative.
