The Indiana Pressler HFMA Chapter is a volunteer organization. Everything we do depends on the great group of people who give a little of their time and effort to make the Chapter a success! We are always looking for members who want to develop their leadership and networking skills. Volunteering for a Chapter committee is a great way to get the most out of your HFMA membership. Please recognize that each committee appointment carries with it a commitment of your time, usually a couple of hours each month. Feel free to contact the committee chair to learn more about the time involved in serving on a committee. For more information regarding each committee please read the descriptions below.

We are actively looking to add additional board members from our Enterprise Organizations. If you love HFMA and want to be more involved as a board member, please let one of the current officers know of your interest.
