 » How I Got Here: Eric H. Schultz

> I am honored to chair the MAHP board and look forward to the work our industry is undertaking, individually and jointly, to make the healthcare system better, simpler, and more cost-effective.

## Eric H. Schultz, the chair of Massachusetts Association of Health Plans in Boston, knows his way around a board.

Eric H. Schultz was elected board chair of the Massachusetts Association of Health Plans in November. Even though his day job as president and CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care keeps him plenty busy, he’s looking forward to leading the MAHP board and working with his colleagues to help simplify the healthcare system. Highlights from his volunteer leadership journey follow.
