HMBANA Thanks Outgoing Board Members and Welcomes New Leadership

Fort Worth, TX — The Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA) extends heartfelt appreciation to its outgoing board members and warmly welcomes new leaders who will help guide the organization forward.

HMBANA remains committed to advancing nonprofit donor milk banking in support of medically fragile babies and their families. We are deeply grateful to outgoing board members Clifton Kenon and Summer Kelly for their years of service. Their steady leadership, expertise, and commitment strengthened HMBANA’s work and helped shape the progress our community has made together.

As their terms conclude, HMBANA is pleased to welcome Marissa Grossenbach, Jasmine Pettis Marquez, and Misty Virmani, who begin their service with a shared dedication to the mission. Each brings valuable experience and a strong commitment to meeting the evolving needs of vulnerable infants and the milk banks that support them.
