Awards & Recognition

2006 - 2007

The HFMA’s Silver Award of Excellence for Certification and the Bronze Award of Excellence for Membership Growth and Retention were presented to the Alabama Chapter in June 2007 during the 54th Annual Chapter Presidents Dinner and Meeting at HFMA’s Annual National Institute in San Diego, California. The Award of Excellence for Certification recognizes chapters that achieve outstanding performance in certification support. The honor is based on an increase in the number of chapter members who pass a certification examination in the chapter year. The Award of Excellence for Membership Growth and Retention recognizes chapters that achieve outstanding performance in membership growth and retention. The honor is based on the percent of net membership growth at the end of the chapter year.

The Alabama Chapter went on to receive five Helen M. Yerger Special Recognition Awards which recognizes chapters for outstanding performance achieved by excellent efforts in programs, services, and administration.

HFMA President and CEO, Richard L. Clarke, says, “The Alabama Chapter provides a great example for HFMA’s 2007-08 Chairman’s theme —Make a Difference. So many of their members are actively involved…contributing, sharing, and making a difference. Everyone applauds their family spirit, which shines through their many accomplishments. ”

Congratulations to Dawn Walton, President, and all the Chapter officers, Board Members, Vice-Presidents and Committee Chairs for their outstanding achievements during the year.
