Board Roster

The MassAFP's Board of Directors works to further the organization's mission, comprising family physician members from around the Commonwealth and across the spectrum of practice settings. 

This group is responsible for the direction of the organization and governs, develops policy and sets the course – always framed around MassAFP’s mission.

Committee and Workgroup Chairs take responsibility for supplementing the work of the board. They, along with their committee members, align their work with the strategic goals of the organization and work on addressing any specific immediate needs of the organization.
