National Association of Medicaid Directors Elects New Board Leadership
State Medicaid directors have elected a new board of directors for the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD). The organization represents state Medicaid agencies in policy discussions with CMS and serves as the primary vehicle for state-to-state coordination on Medicaid program operations. The new board will guide NAMD's advocacy priorities and engagement with federal policymakers during a period of ongoing program changes. State agencies should monitor NAMD communications for shifts in organizational priorities or focus areas under the new leadership.
Why it mattersNAMD board composition influences which state Medicaid agency concerns receive priority in federal policy discussions and shapes the organization's positions on proposed rules affecting managed care operations.
