We are the
Case Management Society
of New England
We are one of your best resources for case management education.
Hear from our Members about the benefits of their CMSA/CMSNE Membership
It is truly a pleasure and honor to step into the role of President of CMSNE for 2025–2026. I look forward to building upon the strong foundation and progress achieved under June’s leadership. This organization has been a tremendous source of information, support, and networking opportunities throughout my career in case management, and I am grateful for the opportunity to give back in this way.
As we move forward, member input will be invaluable—your engagement is the foundation of our organization. I will be reaching out for volunteers to help shape the programs, educational offerings, and networking opportunities for the upcoming year. We are beginning this tenure on a very positive note, which gives us momentum for continued growth.
One area of focus will be attracting new members. I believe this can be achieved through collaboration with like-minded organizations and educational institutions. Additionally, I would like us to explore the creation of a mentoring program to support new members and those who are interested in pursuing a career in case management.
We also have a strong, comprehensive membership plan presented by Pat Noonan, which will guide our efforts and ensure we are meeting the needs of our members.
I am excited to begin this new chapter with all of you and look forward to what we can accomplish together.
Sincerely,
Karen Mackey, BSW, MBA
CMSNE President, 2025-27
Reflection on My Year as President of CMSNE
On October 1, 2025, my one-year term as the CMSNE Presidency ended. I am honored to have served and supported you, the members, and the chapter. Throughout the year, we worked towards an approach of appreciation and recognition for members, sending the message to everyone for inclusion .
In retrospect, we started this year with an extensive agenda, together accomplishing our goals with the Board, members, and Maureen Ferguson. The goals achieved consisted of new initiatives, along with reinstating or preserving previous practices, taking our Chapter, with the Board and members, to the next level ensuring its sustainability and growth! The slogan was focus on “You the Member!” Achievements occurred through the various successfully implemented initiatives and recognition of members.
Here are some of the innovations we are proud of, including ending the year meeting budget—no deficit:
- Annual Education Calendar reinstated – expanding educational opportunities
- Pediatric Special Interest Group (SIG) Initiated- meeting unique needs of pediatric case managers and offering summer educational webinars
- Connecticut added to the CMSNE Regional Geography
- Keeping You In the Know – Updates to Inform Case Managers, Social Workers and Healthcare Team Members of the current risks associated with this year’s healthcare reform efforts.
- Expansion of Educational Programming in New England including the Maine Annual Conference and NH Extension Conference with more being planned.
- The Sponsor Forums to share opportunities and learn more about Sponsor needs and preferences.
- Education Needs Survey of Members
- Support of Membership Committee Activities to stabilize existing membership and grow new members.
- Fostering growing collaborations with colleges thru Membership Committee
- Enhanced presence on social media with improved advertising outreach.
Yes, a busy, but very rewarding year! Now, I pass the torch to Karen MacKey, our new President with many good wishes for her success. I remain on the Board as the Immediate Past President, being a support for Karen and the chapter. I will continue to support and build on my initiatives while being available to members.
Sincerely yours,
June Stark
