A message from our Chapter President

Dear Maryland AAHAM Members,

First and foremost, we would like to take this time to thank both our members and corporate partners for your unwavering support and understanding while we were and are continuing to navigate these unprecedented events.  It is usually around this time that we are all gearing up with an away from the office message while we take our business networking over to the beach for our Annual Institute. While we have postponed our annual event until May of 2022, the Maryland Chapter of AAHAM is pleased to announce that we will be safely welcoming back In-Person Educational Meetings this fall. This decision was made after the July 2021 survey that we had a great deal of member participation in.   

We will be hosting our first In-Person meeting since early last year on Friday, September 24, 2021 at Kurtz Beach in Pasadena, MD. We have planned this event as a hybrid educational session and social networking event in an effort to  keep some form of tradition from our usual September event! The morning educational sessions will be indoors and masks will be required for all attendees at this time. Our current schedule of speakers will include Scott London, Gustavo Matheus, Charlotte Kohler, Lauren Rose, and the MD AAHAM Executive Board. In the afternoon, you can catch up with your colleagues by enjoying lunch outdoors on the Bay with beer/wine, lawn games and, of course, great company to include many of our Corporate Partners.

We would also like to take this time to ask you to mark your calendars for the additional sessions that we have been working so very hard on bringing back this fall:

Friday, November 5th, Third Party Payer Session Event at the Hotel at Arundel Preserve

Friday, December 10th, Educational Session and Holiday Luncheon Social Networking Event at the Hotel at Arundel Preserve

Additional information including times and registration will be coming soon for all of these events will be published soon and continued updates will be coming throughout the fall.

In the meantime, we want our members to understand that we are here to support you all. If you have any concerns regarding your certification status or membership, please do not hesitate to reach out. We have all been faced with a unique set of challenges and we want to ensure that our members are taken care of to the best of our ability.  We will continue to survey our chapter to better gage how we are all feeling throughout the fall.  Your feedback has been vital and we thank you for always taking the time to provide us with valuable feedback.
 

Best Regards,

​
