Sunflower Chapter

President’s Welcome

Welcome to the Sunflower (Kansas) Chapter!

I am honored and grateful to serve as the President of the Sunflower (Kansas) Chapter of HFMA for 2024-2025. Two years ago, when I was asked to be a part of the officer rotation I was both excited and terrified to start this journey. As someone who usually tries to stay out of the spotlight, I knew it would give me the opportunity to push myself beyond my comfort zone. I can say without hesitation, that over the last two years I have grown both professionally and personally, beyond what I ever could have imagined.

I would like to encourage anyone who is looking to get involved to reach out to myself, a board member, or a committee member. HFMA offers some great educational opportunities, but it can be so much more! I have had the opportunity to network with healthcare finance professionals from across the country and have made some lifelong friends through my involvement with HFMA.

This year our Chapter has an amazing group of volunteers in leadership roles who will work alongside me. As a team we have developed success goals that will help our chapter grow and support our membership throughout the year. We plan to expand our educational opportunities including offering webinars on a variety of subjects throughout the year. As we all know, staffing shortages continue to be an issue in healthcare today and we struggle to find candidates for our healthcare financial positions. To help engage students and open them up to the opportunities that healthcare finance has to offer, we are working to develop relationships with local colleges to engage students in HFMA.

Finally, I would like to thank our previous leaders, our business partners, and our members. Tanner, thank you for your leadership and mentorship as Sunflower President for 2023-2024. Thank you to our business partners. We could not provide the education that we do without your support. And finally, thank you to our members for your continued passion for healthcare finance.

I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to connecting with each of you at our events. Thank you again for this opportunity to serve the Sunflower HFMA membership as this years President.
