The January 15th annual board meeting was a great success. MHMRA graciously donated their conference space for the event and Lisa Rivers from The Arc of Texas spoke about the new trend of microboard formation to help protect the interests of individuals with special needs. Board members and bylaws were also accepted at the meeting.
