HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
A message from our president
On behalf of the officers and board members welcome to the 2010-2011 year.
I would like to thank Charles Birkinshaw for his excellent leadership
this past year in keeping the board focused on meeting goals and keeping
the Chapter strong. We look forward to Charles’s continuing
contributions to the Chapter.
A major goal for the Chapter this year is to increase our committee
participation. As you know HFMA is an organization consisting of
volunteers and due to the generous participation of our members, our
organization is able to provide low cost high quality education and
networking opportunities for healthcare finance professionals in Utah.
Also, taking an active role makes your membership more fulfilling. If
you are interested in taking part on a committee, please feel free to
contact me or the committee chair. If you are not quite sure how you
would like to volunteer, please let me know.
Good news, our Chapter Board again approved the special offer for all
Utah Chapter members valid until May 31, 2011, 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 Laurie Janssen, our certification contact.
Our new program committee, lead by Doug Smith, is putting together an
impressive line-up of relevant programs for the 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 low registration fees
helpful. Also, based on your feedback, we will be including more social
opportunities in-conjunction with the education programs. We are always
looking for opportunities to improve our meetings, so if you would like
to recommend a speaker, suggest a topic, or provide a helpful
suggestion, please let me or Doug know.
Finally, a special thanks to our sponsors. Their support enables us to
provide lower registration fees for our meetings and allow us to bring
in more relevant speakers to address current topics. Please feel free to
contact me with any suggestions or feedback; I look forward to seeing
you at your next chapter meeting.
Thanks,
