Michigan Great Lakes Chapter

President’s Welcome

My name is Michael Felczak, and I am honored to serve our chapter and its members as the 2025 Michigan Great Lakes Chapter President. On behalf of the chapter, I want to say welcome! As we look forward the Michigan Great Lakes Chapter is working to bring you valuable education and networking opportunities.

I want to thank Ariana Raymond for a successful 2024 year. I would also like to congratulate Courtney Guernsey for her role as President-Elect and Nichole Nissen as Vice President. I am confident that they will continue to bring you excellent education, programming, and networking in the future!

If you haven’t explored our webpage recently or that of Region 6, and National, we invite you to do so and to take advantage of the benefits from all that is offered with your membership. With certification continuing to be of significant interest we will be bringing you both a CRCR and CHFP bootcamps in the months ahead.

This September we will hold the Region 6 Conference in Columbus, Ohio with the theme of Now, Near, Next: Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Healthcare. It is certain to bring a wide variety of insightful topics and sessions that will bring you current on the acute healthcare landscape.

We couldn’t bring you the quality programming and education that we are in the process of planning without our sponsors. They are integral in what we do so thank you for all your commitments to the success of our chapter!

If you are looking to get involved in chapter planning, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly as we are always looking to establish the future leadership of the chapter. Whether you are new to the chapter or a tenured member of HFMA there are several opportunities to assist in keeping the chapter moving forward.

Again, thank you and I look forward to connecting with you throughout the year!

Michael Felczak, FHFMA
2024-2025 Michigan Great Lakes HFMA Chapter President
