Lead through Volunteering—Nominations for AHIMA Elected Positions Due January 31

Looking to learn something new or to share your knowledge and skills? Need a challenge to get out of a workplace rut? Consider volunteering for AHIMA!  Volunteering with AHIMA is a rewarding experience that you simply can’t get on the job or in a class. With so many opportunities available, why not give it a try?

AHIMA is seeking qualified active members to fill the roles of AHIMA president-elect and three directors for the Board of Directors. Additionally, three Commissioner vacancies are available for 2012 on The Commission on Certification for Health Informatics and Information Management (CCHIIM). CCHIIM’s open positions for 2012 are for a Privacy Professional, HIA Educator and CCS-P Professional.   Nominations for president-elect, the Board of Directors, and CCHIIM (made through the Application to Serve) are due January 31, 2012. All positions have three-year terms, and all terms begin January 1, 2013.

Before you fill out the application, be sure to take the Volunteer Leadership Core Competencies Self-Assessment, which outlines the skills and abilities required for AHIMA volunteer leadership positions. The self-assessment explains the core competencies for all volunteers and specifies additional competencies for director, commissioner, and committee chair roles. Descriptions, duties, and qualifications can be found through the Application to Serve Web page. Select Elected Groups to submit your application before January 31, 2012.

Join the many AHIMA volunteers who invest their time and reap the rewards. Gain recognition as an association leader, help recruit new professionals, and show your commitment to the profession. Volunteer for an AHIMA elected position by submitting your application through the Application to Serve by January 31, 2012. Applications must be submitted online or will not be accepted.

Sincerely,

Bonnie Cassidy, MPA, RHIA, FAHIMA, FHIMSS
