Dear ASHHRA Colleagues,

 

We will miss Paul Morlock, vice president of human resources at Stanly Regional Medical Center, Albermale, N.C., and John Ostrom, director of human resources at Intermountain Medical Group, Salt Lake City, Utah, whose terms have ended on the Board. Both of these men have contributed in profound ways to the successes that ASHHRA has realized in the past few years. Notably, Paul and John have actively participated as mentors in the mentoring program and contributed countless hours to the development of the CHHR exam. I will miss their wisdom and good humor. I would be remiss not to recognize Irma Babiak Pye, also leaving the board. Irma has been involved with ASHHRA for decades. She brought wisdom and a vision to her board service. Her leadership as vice president, president, and past-president has provided continuity and stability to our organization.
