President's Message – Education Updates

Presidents Message (September 2021) – I just returned from the AHRMM convention in Nashville on Aug. 23-25, where I, along with Dale Montgomery, accepted another Diamond Chapter award from AHRMM on behalf of KAHRMM for 2020-2021. Our group, along with a group from Washington State area, is now the longest at maintaining that status. I think we are now at nine years running. They are at 10 years. Thank you to everyone that helps make that possible, and thank you for maintaining your memberships. A special thank you goes to Cindy Howard-Reeves for gathering all the information and data to submit to the AHRMM committee to be considered for the award.

We are continuing to plan a Golf for Education and educational event for Oct. 11-12, in Salina. We are monitoring the guidelines for the COVID variant for any possibility of canceling the event. We have vendors, speakers and several members interested in the program.

Please reserve your room, and we will provide a safe, fun and educational event. At this point, I don't know if we can provide CEUs, but I think the information gained will still be worth your effort. Look for more information in this newsletter about the event.
--Mike Morgan
