I had the pleasure of sharing a wonderful event with our classmates Jane Zimmy, Ellie McGrath and Maria Mossaides (class of ’73 but honorary member of ’74), as well as Class of 1972 members and former MHC President, Lynn Pasquerella at the Frances Perkins homestead in Damariscotta, Maine. Maria Mossaides was honored by the Frances Perkins Society on Sunday, August 18th at their 11th Annual Garden Party Award Ceremony. Maria received the Steadfast Award for her work over the past 40 years in both the public and independent sectors as both an attorney and senior executive. and gave a very moving talk about how Frances Perkins inspired her to achieve so much for social justice and economic security.
