We lost our dear friend Joe on July 10, 2020, after his many years of service to MHA. We mourn that loss, and celebrate his many contributions to our field.

A former Board member who was nearly unrivaled in his dedication to the organization, Joseph was involved with mental health issues as a litigator for the ACLU and the state, as a mental health center board member for over 20 years, as a member of the Colorado Mental Health Planning and Advisory Council for 12 years (6 as Chair) as a founder and member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Mental Health Planning and Advisory Councils for 9 years (6 as Chair), and as a member of the MHA Policy Committee for the past 8 years.
