Hello ASHHRA Members

Well, it's done!  The 2010 ASHHRA Conference & Exposition is now officially 'history.' Over 800 health care HR leaders and professionals have now returned home, equipped with information, ideas and connections.  The ASHHRA staff has returned to Chicago, unpacked their bags, and has begun operationalizing the 2011 ASHHRA strategic plan.  The over 175 vendors are sorting through their contact lists, providing requested information, and preparing follow up meetings.  All in all, an excellent event unfolded as planned, with nary a problem or hiccup.
 
And yet within this entire ‘normalcy' is the reality that health care reform is moving along - and it's likely the hospital or health care organization you know and work with today will operate dramatically differently by 2015. 
 
The ASHHRA conference helped us remember that...and provided invaluable opportunities to learn, discuss, and debate this issue.   It'll be interesting to see what will have changed within our worlds 'by the time we get to Phoenix' (as Bob Walters so ably sang) at the conference in September, 2011! 
 
Until then, stay with ASHHRA throughout the year as we bring you on-going educational webinars, information and news about health care reform, and more.  Thank you for your membership and support!
