National HFMA Survey coming to you. We need your feedback about our WI chapter!

​ 
 
Dear Valued Member, 

National HFMA recently distributed a survey to your email asking for your opinion on how our local volunteers at HFMA Wisconsin have been meeting your needs. HFMA Wisconsin volunteers would like to ask you to select "extremely satisfied" or "very satisfied" when you complete this survey to ensure we reach our goal for membership satisfaction along with helping us volunteers plan for the future of HFMA Wisconsin. Here are just a few of the items that we volunteers have accomplished the past few years:
 

• Free Certification YouTube Training - A continuance of our award winning and innovative certification study group webinar series designed to assist those in obtaining the status of CHFP and FHFMA to pass the exam. You can find these training videos on our website at www.hfmawisconsin.com and click on the “Certification” tab. 
• Reimbursed for the cost of the test for the cost of certification if you pass! HFMA Wisconsin has budgeted to reimburse members for the cost of certification!
• Free Membership for a 1st-time non-members national membership fee with the Registration at our Fall or Winter Conference! HFMA Wisconsin can help defray your first year’s membership by just attending our local conference!
• Multi-State (Region 7) Conference with Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin this summer in Lake Geneva!
• H20 Talks (Ted Talks) – We continue to host Ted-style talks at our local Annual, Fall, and Winter Conferences.
• Webinars: HFMA Wisconsin has hosted a webinar every month for the last twelve months to help educate our members! To view our upcoming webinars or view a past recorded webinar visit: http://www.hfmawisconsin.com/webinars.html

Wednesday, October 12th we will be hosting networking reception at Great Dane. Thursday, October 13th we will be hosting a networking reception with former basketball coach Bo Ryan! 

• The Wisconsin HFMA will be having our third year running "Lead Like a Girl" Conference scheduled for November 11, 2016. (Check out our website for details. Registration is now open!
• Improved our communication to our members with a bi-weekly newsletter that will introduce you to other HFMA Wisconsin members.
• Open up a vendor show for the 2017 Winter Conference at the Wilderness in Wisconsin Dells for our valued sponsors to have membership interaction. (January 25-27, 2017).

Please remember to select "extremely satisfied" or "very satisfied" based on these changes that our volunteer leadership has initiated.
To help make it fun and to thank you for taking the time to take this survey, we will have a drawing for three more lucky members at our Winter Conference in the Wisconsin Dells, January 25-27, 2016. The drawing will be for (3) $50 Amazon gift cards. So don't delay, please take that survey. It should be in your mailbox from HFMA National around October 10th. You will only be eligible if you take the survey and let me know by emailing me back at shawn@americollect.com. Only your email to my address indicating you've taken the survey will constitute one entry after completing the survey. So Good luck! 
It's important that we hear from you, and thank you in advance for your participation in the 2016 National HFMA Survey.
