  WORCESTER — The North Worcester Business Association will kick off its 2026-27 season on Wednesday, September 16th, with a luncheon featuring Seema Dixit, commissioner of Health and Human Services for the City of Worcester, as guest speaker.

  The luncheon marks the beginning of another season of networking, professional connections and programs focused on Worcester's business community and the opportunities available in the city's North Worcester area. It will be held at noon at The Mill 185 on West Boylston Street.

  Dixit, a seasoned public health executive with more than 25 years of leadership experience in state and local government, leads a broad portfolio for the City of Worcester that includes public health, youth services, elderly affairs, veterans' services and homelessness services.

She has also held leadership roles with national and regional public health organizations, including the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.
