Message from AHVAP President-Elect

There is Still Time!

One of my duties as the President-Elect is to chair the Annual Conference committee and, just this past week, we just wrapped up our first official meeting for the 2025 Annual Conference season. It is always such an exciting time, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic for this year’s event. One of the committee’s first tasks is to review the submitted topics blindly and, from what we reviewed, 2025 is shaping up to be our best year yet. The committee is very intentional about curating each session. Every topic and discussion are influenced by the feedback we receive from the prior year’s attendees. We’re not just filling a schedule — we’re crafting an experience that delivers real value and actionable insights for our membership.

While our call for speakers has officially closed, there’s still an opportunity to contribute. Consider submitting a poster presentation to showcase innovative projects, research, or best practices you have implemented. The call for poster presentations will be open until midnight on May 31st. Poster sessions offer a unique way to share your expertise, gain visibility among your peers, and spark meaningful discussions. If you’ve been working on a project that could inspire others, this is your chance to put it in the spotlight and share with other value analysis professionals and our industry partners.

Maybe you are not ready to present a poster, so why should you attend? Beyond engaging sessions and valuable content, attending the conference comes with tangible benefits including:

• Earn 30+ Continuing Education (CE) Credits – Stay current with industry knowledge while fulfilling professional development requirements.
• Strengthen Your Network – Connect with like-minded professionals, industry leaders, and innovators who share your challenges and goals.
• Gain Actionable Insights – Walk away with practical strategies and fresh ideas to implement in your organization.
• Be Part of the Conversation – Influence the future of value analysis by engaging in discussions that matter.

This year’s conference is shaping up to be an incredible experience, and I can’t wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones. Stay tuned for more updates, and if you haven’t already, make plans to join us at the Gaylord Texan Resort October 6-9. You won’t want to miss it!

Sincerely,

Anne Marie Orlando, MBA, RN, RCIS, CVAHP™, FACHDM, PNAP, FAHVAP
