MASSACHUSETTS-RHODE ISLAND CHAPTER BOARD MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES

The most common reasons people join HFMA, attend HFMA meetings and participate in the committees are to:

(1) learn and grow
(2) develop business contacts
(3) get to know people
(4) participate and achieve
(5) have recognition
(6) have fun

When asking a person to volunteer, don’t underestimate the commitment. It helps to stress the importance and potential achievements from participating. Give each person a task or assignment to involve everyone. The Board Member should be careful not to do everything themselves. Expect that the committee chairpersons and members will accomplish their task and establish a good feedback process to monitor the timetable.

• Participate in all Board meetings and conference calls.
• Serve as the Board Liaison for the committees assigned. For further information see the “Board Liaison” or “Organizational Chart” documents.
