Goal
- To replace the Fall IAHCSMM Meeting with Regional Educational
Meetings.
Target Year
Rationale
- Today hospitals are facing budget problems thereby restricting
support for attendance at educational conferences. This affects
the ability for CS personnel to attend more than one 4-day
conference a year but still affords the opportunity to attend
seminars at the local/regional level because of being cost
effective.
- Regional meetings will provide an opportunity to reach Central
Service personnel especially technicians who need educational
support and a way to accumulate continuing education hours
for
recertification.
The Plan
Implementation
- Each Region would meet annually in the fall season (September
- November)
- Each Region would have a Regional Director appointed by
the Membership/Chapter Chairperson with consultation from the
IAHCSMM Executive Board.
- The Region would decide on the location and date of the
meeting.
- The Region's "Meeting Committee" would plan and
implement the conference
(topics, speakers, exhibits, social events, etc.).
- IAHCSMM Headquarters would serve as an advisory source and
provide marketing assistance. The Regional Director would be
present at each Regional Meeting. If possible, an Executive
Board member would be in attendance at a regional meeting.
- Profits of the meeting would be returned to the Chapters
participating in the regional
conference.
- Meetings could include regional vendor exhibits (table top
displays)
