Mary Beth Donahue, President and CEO of the Better Medicare Alliance, joined Brody Mullins and me for a thoughtful conversation on building and managing an effective coalition. 

Drawing on her deep understanding of both policy and politics, Mary Beth shared how rigorous research and authentic storytelling are essential when engaging policymakers.

She emphasized the power of elevating seniors’ voices—ensuring they can speak directly to both seasoned healthcare leaders and newly elected officials about the importance of Medicare Advantage to their coverage and quality of life. As constituents, their perspectives carry real weight.

Beyond her leadership, Mary Beth is also a proud mother of two daughters who are headed to compete in Division I college athletics.
