HMN continues to look for additional talent to join the Board and grow the organization. Mr. Connolly added, “We’re always looking for individuals that are willing and able to help our small organization continue to impact thousands of families and reach many more.”

HMN serves the holistic community through local chapters across the country. Chapters bring holistic parents together through monthly gatherings, activities, playgroups and more. The national organization supports these local communities and provides additional partnerships and educational resources. “As a Board, we’re hoping to lend our expertise to grow our programs and provide additional resources to the community.” Ms. Strauss continued. “We have the potential to grow and serve more members and educate those that are just starting on their holistic journey.”
