2008/2009 President |
Welcome to MSHRM:
In 2008 and 2009, we celebrate our 30th
year as a Michigan society of professionals
who are dedicated to improving patient
care through awareness and risk reduction.
From humble beginnings in 1979 as a small
association formed to share information
in the field of healthcare risk management,
MSHRM has grown into an effective and progressive
society capable of providing its members
with focused educational programs, opportunities
for networking and information sharing
and a voice in governmental issues that
impact our ability to serve in the healthcare
industry. As MSHRM’s President, I
look forward to working with our membership,
our committee chairs and our Board of Directors
to continue to build upon the past successes
of our society.
We continue to pursue the goals set forth
in our strategic plan. In addition to offering
relevant educational programs, our focus
this year will be on increasing communication
between our members (including the enhancement
of our recently launched list serve discussion
forum), creating collaborative associations
with other professional organizations and
implementing programs to develop and retain
strong leaders and volunteers.
The Board remains committed to growing
our membership through the networking opportunities
and the diversity in the educational topics
we offer.
We have recently completed a comprehensive
membership survey and we will use this
tool to further define the organization’s
path to meet the membership’s needs.
Our important dates for 2008/2009
are:
October 2-5, 2008 - ASHRM Annual Conference – Boston,
MA
October 21, 2008 - Fall Education and
Business Meeting - Henry Center, East
Lansing, MI
March 3, 2009 - Winter Education and
Business Meeting - Henry Center, East
Lansing, MI
May 20-22, 2009 - MSHRM
Annual Conference – Grand
Traverse Resort, Traverse City, MI
At our 2009 Annual Conference, we will
reflect upon the past and will set
a solid course for the future, as
we proudly
celebrate
our 30th anniversary.
I look forward to seeing you at the
meetings and serving as the 30th
MSHRM President.
