HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
A message from our president
On behalf of the officers and board members welcome to the 2009-2010 year.
I would like to thank Colin Quincy for the great job he did as last
year’s president keeping the board focused on meeting goals and keeping
the Chapter strong. We look forward to Colin’s continuing contributions
to the Chapter.
Our new programs chair, Scott Schofield, has assembled an great
committee, which has already made amazing progress in putting together
some impressive and relevant programs for coming year. I believe you
will be pleasantly surprised with the speakers lined up for this year’s
meetings and, hopefully, you will find the lower registration fees
helpful. If you would like to recommend a speaker or suggest a topic for
a future meeting, please let Scott know.
A major goal for the Chapter this year is to increase the number of
certification exams taken. You have probably at one time or another
considered the benefits of certification but just could not find the
time to follow through. A few months ago, the HFMA Utah Chapter Board
approved a special offer for all Utah Chapter members valid until April
30, 2010, regarding certification exams. The Chapter will reimburse you
for the cost of taking a successfully passed exam, a $125 value. If you
have any certification questions such as borrowing study guides or
scheduling an exam, please contact Mark Vawdrey, our certification
contact.
HFMA is an organization consisting of volunteers. Taking an active role
makes the organization stronger and makes membership more fulfilling. If
you are interested in taking part on a committee, please feel free to
contact the committee chair. If you are not quite sure how you would
like to volunteer, please let me know.
Thanks
