We recently sat down with Becca Elias, who was our chapter’s first intern! Becca is a senior at Millersville University majoring in Communications. Becca was an intern at MASHSMD from May 2021 to August 2021 . In her role, Becca led a number of communications projects and initiatives that supported our organization and its mission. This included the planning and execution of this blog! Becca told our interviewer and board member Dan Carrigan that she hadn’t considered a career in health care, but found MASHSMD and applied.

Meet  Don Serfass

 Don Serfass is the Content Strategy and Sales Director at Baldwin Publishing in Washington Crossing, Pa. Baldwin Publishing licenses health and wellness content it has curated that is both editorially and medically reviewed. Most of its customers are in the medical field. He is a graduate of Rider University  in New Jersey.

Meet Dave Brond

 Dave Brond has known of MASHSMD for several years through his membership in SHSMD and the American Marketing Association, but it wasn’t until three years ago that he took action to get involved. Dave immediately joined the Board rather than starting out as a member and hasn’t looked back since.

Meet Amy Steinmann

 For about the past ten years, Amy Steinmann has been a dedicated member of MASHSMD. In 2008 she attended the Virginia Society of Hospital Marketing and Public Relations (VSHMPR) Fall conference. This was the first glimpse she had of what her future with us might look like as VSHMPR was one of the organizations that would later merge to form MASHSMD. Several years later, Amy had the opportunity to share her story and successes as a presenter at our Spring conference in May 2019. Being a part of MASHSMD for so long has allowed her to make connections with and learn from the challenges and triumphs of others who are doing similar work.

Meet Shelley Marshall

  Shelley is a fairly new member to MASHSMD, but she quickly became more valuable to us after she joined our Board of Directors as part of the Marketing Communications Committee. She was first introduced to our organization by another Board member whom she had worked closely with over the past few years. She knew MASHSMD was the right place for her since meeting new people in her field is something that’s very important to her. Being part of our organization gives her the opportunity to use her experience and expertise to network with others while also supporting the mission of the organization.
