President’s Welcome

Dear HFMA Metropolitan Philadelphia Chapter,
I hope that everyone has enjoyed the summer. I am very excited about this year with HFMA’s Metropolitan Philadelphia Chapter. We have designed programs that are sure to create more value for our members by reducing the registration costs in specific categories. Please note that we also offer free student registration for our education events. Please take advantage of these discounts when registering for our next event, the Fall Institute on September 17, 2026, at the Double Tree Hotel (by Hilton) in Philadelphia.
Also, we are committed to growing our leadership bench and have designed a strong succession plan. We are partnering with local universities and revitalizing our Scholarship program. Please look forward to receiving details regarding this program. Applications will be reviewed and decisions will be announced during first quarter of 2027.
I am very grateful to the chapter leaders, volunteers and sponsors. We would not be able to deliver successful programs without you. I’m very thankful for your continued commitment and contributions to the chapter.
Sincerely,
Kas Garnes
President, Metro Philly Chapter HFMA
