A Message From Our President

Evalie M. Crosby, CPA, FHFMA
Chapter President 2011 - 2012

The 2011-2012 year for the NH-VT Chapter of HFMA is underway! This year’s theme for HFMA across the country is Believe to Achieve, a theme designed to inspire both Chapters as a whole as well as the individual members of those Chapters to see their goals and strive towards them believing that they can be accomplished. The NH-VT Chapter had a very successful 2010-2011 year achieving some very high goals. When the Chapter Leadership looks to exceed those goals in 2011-2012, we have a daunting task before us and yet, as a team, we believe that we can achieve those goals. We have developed and are setting out with a very ambitious plan for the year ahead. We will be stressing the importance and benefits of HFMA membership at all of our education events seeking to increase our membership to over 400 by May 2012. We had an unprecedented 35 certification exams taken and passed in 2010-2011 and will encourage our members to continue their commitment to personal professional development through seeking certification at both the CHFP and FHFMA levels. We have developed an ambitious slate of education programs for the year, including programs throughout New Hampshire and Vermont as well as through Webinar offerings. And, finally, we seek to increase the level of volunteerism in the chapter, encouraging more of our members to serve on committees and education event planning teams. So, join us in stepping out into the 2011-2012 Chapter Year Believing that we can Achieve the goals we have set before us. I look forward to working with each of you this year!!
