HFMA National Chairman Bob Broadway has chosen "Making Connection" as his theme for the upcoming year beginning June 2008 through May 2009. I am embracing that theme as well for our Chapter as I believe we always need to make that connection. As the healthcare industry begins to shrink, we need to continually keep up with the hot topics and network with our colleagues. I have been a member of HFMA for nearly 30 years and have made friends with great people whom I know I can consult with on any issue.

I encourage you to join committees and take full advantage of your membership. By participating, it will help develop you into a leader and enhance your career's success. Your involvement is just a phone call away. Begin as a committee member and then perhaps volunteer the following year as a Chair or Co-Chair. All of the current committee chairs and co-chairs are always looking for members to join and share their talents to help make the Chapter an overall success. The best way to make connections with peers and experts in the healthcare field today is through active participation within NJ HFMA.

All of our committee members work diligently coordinating monthly or quarterly educational sessions, writing position papers on hot topics, recruiting members to join our chapter, planning social events, producing our FOCUS newsletter, helping members get certified and keeping our website updated and in vogue.

The New Jersey website has undergone a facelift and we will continue to enhance the look and the available tools on it for our membership. Within this website, you will find critical information, such as listings of all educational events, chapter membership, forum/committee meeting schedules and the job bank. I encourage you to utilize it as often as possible.

With YOU, HFMA NJ will continue to expand upon the successes of the past as we move into the future. Thank you for this opportunity to serve you and ask you to embrace the theme "Making Connections" and do your part to maintain our Chapter's success.
