BOSTON – Massachusetts Governor-elect Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor-elect Kim Driscoll today, November 28, announced the full membership of their six transition policy committees. Each committee is composed of a diverse group of community members, advocates, subject matter experts, and business and nonprofit leaders.
“We’re excited to welcome this experienced, innovative and hardworking group of leaders to our transition policy committees,” said Lieutenant Governor-elect and Transition Chair Kim Driscoll. “They will play a critical role in the important work we are doing to ensure that our administration is ready to begin moving Massachusetts forward on day one.”
Each committee is led by 2-4 co-chairs, who were previously announced. They will get to work immediately on their mission to translate the campaign’s vision into governing plans. All committees will apply an equity and affordability lens to their work, always considering the ways in which historically marginalized communities may be impacted and how to alleviate economic burdens for Massachusetts residents.
