  Our November monthly lunch and learn webinar is coming up on Wednesday, November 4th at noon. This month we will be hearing from Cheryl Sbarra, Esq., Executive Director and Senior Staff Attorney at the Massachusetts Association of Health Boards and Lisa Stevens-Goodnight, Esq., Tobacco Control Director at the Massachusetts Municipal Association. Cheryl and Lisa will be presenting on tobacco control in municipal government.

  The majority of Massachusetts tobacco control enforcement is carried out on the municipal level, overseen by local boards of health, and supported by the Department of Public Health though the Massachusetts Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Program and partners. This lunch and learn will cover the following topics:
  

  • An overview of the education and resources available to Boards of Health and health departments, to understand how the boards of health are approaching these issues
  • How to assist boards of health when they face challenges to tobacco control enforcement and where to look for guidance; and
  • Current and potential future legal challenges and areas of concern worth paying attention to.

  This session is designed for municipal counsel, officials, and staff seeking to better understand tobacco control at the municipal level so they can foster a safe and healthy community for all.

  If you have particular questions that you want addressed, please send them to Jim Lampke at james.lampke@lampkelaw.com and he will pass them along.
