President’s Message – Summer 2023
"Summer means happy times and good sunshine."
Brian Wilson

I love that the time has changed, and we can go to the pool to relax. Summer also means vacations! I hope you have something fun planned so you can take some time to relax and recharge.
We had our annual Legislative day in May this year and it was a huge success! We had four position topics that our legislators were excited to hear more about:

Also, here is a reminder of the exciting things planned for 2023.
- Association Headquarters is our new association management company and are currently in transition. Association Headquarters specializes in helping non-profit organizations achieve their mission, create value, and advance their causes, industries, and professions. They focus on custom solutions such as strategic planning, technology assessments, website builds and database integrations, accounting, HR, and non-dues revenue, while their award-winning marketing and communications and meetings and events teams help organizations achieve greatness.
- The Annual National Institute will be held 10/10-10/12/23 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles.
- The certification committee will be presenting a variety of webinars again this summer for CEUs and updating the study guides.
Submit your questions for CEUs! The Committee members are diligently reviewing our study guides and exam questions to ensure that each exam is relevant to the Revenue Cycle. We need your help, and this is where you, our Certified Members and content experts can participate. We are asking for your assistance to update the exam questions. For our summer campaign, any certified member submitting a new exam question (including answer and supporting documentation) will receive 1 AAHAM CEU. Question submissions are limited to 3 per certified member.
Should your question be selected for the appropriate exam, you will receive additional CEUs as follows:
Accepted question for the CRCS or CCT Exam – 2 CEUs
Accepted question for the CRCP or CRIP Exam – 3 CEUs
Accepted question for the CRCE Exam – 4 CEUs
Save the dates! Upcoming events are planned for a Wine tour on 10/18 and our Fall conference on 10/19. Plus our annual event at Kingsmill will be held 12/6 and 12/7. Be sure to check out Calendar of Events (vaaaham.com) for more details.
This is an election year, so if you are interested in joining the Board or a Committee, please reach out to me directly or the Chairperson of the Board, Linda Patry, at Linda.Patry@mwhc.com
We are preparing to update our website in the coming months and will share more information on that soon.
If you have any topics that you would like to hear more about at an upcoming event, we would love to hear from you!
Sincerely,
Pam Cornell, CRCE
President, Virginia Chapter
