AUBURN — Commissioner Mary Mayhew will be the featured guest speaker at LA Rotary on Thursday, Jan. 26, at Rolandeau’s Restaurant, 775 Washington St.

Mayhew was appointed to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services in 2011 by Gov. Paul R. LePage. She provides leadership, guidance and policy direction to the largest agency in state government, with approximately 3,000 employees and accounting for more than one-third of the state’s budget.

Mayhew’s leadership has focused on reforming the state’s welfare programs to encourage self-sufficiency and long-term employment, establishing effective prioritization and financial management practices, halting more than a decade of multi-million dollar budget shortfalls and strengthening support for our at-risk families.

Prior to her appointment, Mayhew was the senior health policy advisor for the LePage Administration. She also served as vice president of the Maine Hospital Association for 11 years.

The public is invited to attend. Reservations recommended for general public and visiting Rotarians by calling 753-9040.
