Making Connections
by Traci Jay Kobayashi
Chapter President
Welcome to the new 2008-2009 HFMA year and the Hawaii Chapter website! The HFMA Hawaii Chapter has provided excellent educational events and resources to you – its members for over 40 years. We welcome you to explore this website and take advantage of the various networking and education tools available.
HFMA National has selected the theme of “Making Connections” for the 2008-2009 year. This will be a year for us to meet new members and to re-establish and maintain our existing relationships with each other and within the healthcare industry. We will have many opportunities to make these connections through committee meetings and educational and networking events.
In addition, the National theme also reinforces the mission of the Hawaii Chapter which is to provide:
- Quality health care financial education that will meet the needs and exceed the expectations of our members and their healthcare organizations and
- Opportunities through Chapter involvement to help members develop leadership skills and experience personal and professional growth.
This website lists educational events offered by the Hawaii Chapter. These events are an excellent way for you to grow professionally and personally and we trust these sessions and networking events will enrich you. In addition, this website contains a link to the National HFMA website for national events such as seminars and online sessions.
HFMA is a volunteer organization that depends fully on the generosity of its members. If you have any questions, suggestions or would like to participate on a committee, please contact me or any of the officers and committee chairpersons identified on this website.
Mahalo.
