She was elected as the Auxilian of the year in 2007. She also was elected and served as District Six Director, for two years, 2009 and 2010. As director, she attended state board meetings in Jefferson City, and relayed information back to the eleven hospitals in the district six area. She also served as 3rd vice president for MAHA in 2011.

As the current 2nd vice president, Naomi works with all hospital chapters statewide on their membership and annual reports. This year will be Naomi’s 4th year serving on the state (MAHA) board.

“I love working with a group of people and working together to can make a difference in people’s lives,” said Glassey. “For example, by working jointly with all of the state’s auxiliaries, we helped pass the bill to have Autism covered by insurance in Missouri. Each year the state president gives us a health issue to promote. This year it is cancer prevention.”

Naomi presently serves as president –elect for the Ste. Genevieve Auxiliary, and will once again assume the duties of president starting July 1, 2012. She also serves as fundraising chair.
