ILLINOIS SOCIETY OF MEDICAL ASSISTANTS
EXECUTIVE MEMO
January 11, 2020
"DIVE
IN AND FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS"
Wow, where has the time flown? It has been a rough 2019 for many of our
members. My thoughts and prayers go out
to all of you. 2020 is here and now
it's time to Rumble!!!
FEBRUARY MEETING IN BLOOMINGTON IS CANCELLED. CONFERENCE PLANNING IS IN FULL SWING. BECKY WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH COMMITTEE
CHAIRS.
Conference for April
24-26, 2020 is in high gear with our conference chair, Becky Cruse. Speakers are in place. Committee chairs please contact Becky with
your
updates. THE RADISSON IS NOW A HOLIDAY INN. The name has changed but they are honoring all
our arrangements. The phone number is
still the same.
Each chapter is required
to place an ad in the program book and donate gift cards or raffle gifts. This is not new but has been lacking in past
years. Conference is a state wide
event, not a local chapter event. Chapters please promote this event on a
chapter level. I know chapters have
money, help your active members with the registration fee if possible. Send an email or mailing to your chapter to
promote this event. Keep in contact
with your members. Members are
contacting the AAMA regarding lack of communication from chapters and lack of
events. Reach out to your members for
ideas. Members contact your chapter
leaders with ideas, meeting location hints and speakers.
On a sad note, our VP
Amber due to personal reasons had to resign from her position of Vice
President. I am currently working with
AAMA on that matter.
Anyone interested and
qualified to run for an office must submit the completed consent to serve
form. It is available on our
website. You can email it to me or fax
it to me at 708-216-4125 c/o of Donna
Radzun. This must be done before March
1st. March 5th is
my knee replacement surgery and I will be off from work until mid June 2020.
I am still collecting the
toiletries for the homeless shelters.
Please bring items to our events.
ISMA is a very strong
organization with members that are committed.
We will survive and thrive. We
are MEMBER STRONG!!!!!!
We need ideas and members
to fulfill these ideas. Come bring a
friend. Enjoy the weekend away.
Contact me via text 708 687 3265
or email donnabella4121@yahoo.com. Put ISMA in
the subject line.
I hope 2020 will be a new
beginning for ISMA and it's chapters.
Donna Radzun, CMA(AAMA)
ISMA PRESIDENT 2018- 2020
