Save the Date! Thursday, March 26, 2026 "Using Career Navigation to Build Trust and Ethics in Today's Landscape" Read more about the conference under the Upcoming Events area A message from MACDA President, Edward Anthony Colozzi Dear Colleagues, On behalf of our NEC (New England Consortium-NCDA State CDAs) we share our heartfelt condolences for the victims, families and loved ones affected by the mass shooting tragedies at Brown University in Providence, RI (one of our NEC sister states), the MIT professor in Massachusetts, as well as at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Sadly, our New England region, and our country, have experienced frequent, and yet always shocking and tragic news about gun violence and mental health related to individual and mass shootings. Examples in our NEC region include:
These tragedies often involve inadequate attention and treatment to mental health needs, as well as individuals’ access to legal and illegal firearms. All of us as stakeholders residing in local communities, as well as members of state and federal entities, must fix this huge dilemma and crisis for all of our communities, our nation and our common humanity. Please keep our sisters and brothers in Providence, RI and Sydney, AUS in your thoughts and prayers.
