| Jonathan Codraro Position: Vice President Years on board: 3 As a NH resident and an individual that owns a practice in the mental health field, we sit at the tip of the spear. I joined the NHPA because I believe they are the cutting edge in regard to the forefront of helping to educate and lead our state in support of mental health rights and stand as a strong voice in the legislation. Regardless of one’s position the NHPA is a chance to be part of something bigger, to support and grow as a community. As an aspiring psychologist the value of being part of a community is priceless and being a member of the NHPA is invaluable. I can think of no better way to grow both professionally and personally than to engage, participate, support and grow the NHPA.
