President’s Welcome
Dear Montana HFMA Members,
I am honored and excited to serve as President of the Montana HFMA Chapter for the 2026–2027 program year. Our chapter has a strong foundation built by dedicated leaders, volunteers, and members who are passionate about advancing healthcare finance and supporting one another’s professional growth.
As I begin this role, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Bill Robinson for his outstanding leadership over the past year. Bill’s commitment to our chapter, his focus on increasing member engagement, and his dedication to advancing certification opportunities have made a lasting impact. Thanks to his leadership, our chapter has continued to grow, provide value to members, and create meaningful opportunities for professional development. I am grateful for his service and for the example he has set as a leader.
I would also like to thank our entire Board of Directors, committee leaders, and volunteers. The success of our chapter is only possible because of the countless hours contributed by individuals who are committed to serving our members and strengthening our profession. Your dedication, creativity, and leadership ensure that Montana HFMA remains a strong, vibrant, and successful chapter.
As we look ahead, I am energized by the opportunities before us. Our focus this year is simple: to deliver exceptional value to our members while continuing to foster a welcoming and engaged healthcare finance community across Montana.
Throughout the year, you can expect:
- Top-notch educational programming that keeps members informed on evolving healthcare finance, revenue cycle, reimbursement, and leadership topics.
- Fun and meaningful networking opportunities that bring together healthcare professionals from across the state to collaborate, learn, and build lasting relationships.
- Expanded opportunities to get involved, whether through volunteering, serving on a committee, mentoring others, pursuing certification, presenting educational content, or helping shape the future of our chapter.
- A continued commitment to professional growth and member engagement, ensuring that every member receives meaningful value from their HFMA membership.
As we look ahead to the coming year, I encourage you to engage with our chapter in a way that is meaningful to you. Whether through continuing education, professional networking, certification, leadership opportunities, or volunteer service, your involvement helps strengthen our chapter and our profession. I look forward to working alongside you as we continue to grow, learn, and make a positive impact across Montana’s healthcare community.
Thank you for your continued support of Montana HFMA. I am honored to serve alongside an outstanding board and dedicated group of volunteers. Together, we will continue building a chapter that delivers exceptional education, promotes professional development, fosters meaningful connections, and creates opportunities for members to contribute and thrive.
I look forward to an exciting and successful year ahead.
