President’s Welcome – April 2024
Spring has sprung, ushered in by a total eclipse of the sun. Spring is typically associated with new life, and so it is with HFMA, our chapter year runs from June through May, so we are approaching the end of my term as Chapter President and ushering in the Chapter year 24-25 with current President-Elect Bill Cogliano beginning his President year on June 1, 2024. I wish Bill success in his upcoming year as President. We have had a successful year so far, but still have several more key events to look forward to in April and May, so we are not done yet.
While there is still more to do before closing out this Chapter Year, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have contributed to the success of our Chapter throughout the Chapter Year 23-24, Officers, Board Members, Committee Chairs and Members, Event Volunteers, Sponsors, Speakers, and those of you who attend our events, as that in-person attendance is the driving force behind all of the work that we put into planning and hosting those events. This is a volunteer organization that works for the benefit of its members. As I said in my first President’s letter back in June 2023, I encourage all members to take advantage of the various certification opportunities offered by HFMA, the on-line and in-person educational opportunities (and affordable CPE credits), to get involved in our local chapter committees, attend our social/networking events, make career connections, and develop life-long friendships.
Please mark your calendars and register to attend our upcoming events:
- Data Analytics – April 26, 2024
- Women’s Event – May 9, 2024
- Accounting & Auditing – May 16, 2024
- Golf/Spa Outing – May 23, 2024
