MBA appoints new policy and operations
director
Lee Ann Constantine has been named the MBA's new Policy and
Operations Director. Previously serving as the MBA's Legislative
Activities Manager, Constantine has served the MBA in various roles
since 1998. In her new position, Constantine takes on an expanded
role as a liaison to the MBA's key contacts in the legislative,
judicial and executive branches of government. She will continue to
play an important administrative role as she works with the MBA's
volunteer leadership on shaping the association's policies and
positions as it anticipates and responds to critical issues of high
relevance and impact on the Massachusetts legal community.
As Constantine joins the MBA's senior management team, she will
continue to report to Chief Legal Counsel and Chief Operating
Officer Martin W. Healy.
"Lee's institutional knowledge and professional acumen are
beneficial additions to the association's senior staff," said
Healy. "Since her start with the MBA nearly 15 years ago, she has
proven to be an increasingly valuable asset to the MBA's
legislative activities department and the association as a
whole."
Constantine began her newly expanded role on Sept. 1.
