Presidents Message

How did this happen? It feels like just yesterday that I joined the AAHAM WI Chapter Board—fast forward four years, and now I have the privilege of leading this incredible group of healthcare revenue cycle professionals. 

It is truly an honor to serve, and we are committed to building on the momentum created by our past president, Kaye Prieve, and those who came before her. Thank you for your leadership and dedication! 

Our goal is to provide meaningful educational opportunities, including certification programs that support career growth and advancement. We want to ensure every member has access to the knowledge and tools needed to thrive. Beyond education, we are dedicated to fostering a collaborative and supportive community – a safe space where providers can connect, share challenges, and find real solutions. 

But let’s not forget to enjoy the journey! Networking should be more than just professional development—it should be engaging, energizing, and fun. Side effects may include excessive smiling, belly laughter, and relieved stress from the daily pressures of healthcare revenue cycle. 

In 2024, we kicked off the year at the MEGA Conference in Green Bay, explored Madison via trolley at the Spring Conference, and spent an entire day with payers at our Fall Conference in Madison. 

Looking ahead to 2025, we’ve welcomed new faces and fresh ideas to our board and committees. Rest assured, our team is committed to delivering a top-tier experience through education, live events, webinars, and camaraderie. We are finalizing plans for our Spring Conference, and for the Fall Conference, we are expanding on last year’s successful “Payer Day” by adding another half-day of education and a networking event. 

We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to our annual sponsors. Many have been with us year after year—not just through financial support, but as active contributors to our in-person events and webinars. Your continued partnership strengthens our chapter, and we sincerely appreciate you. 

We encourage you to get involved, bring your ideas forward, and make the most of what AAHAM Wisconsin has to offer. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected chapter that elevates all of us. 

Thank you all for being part of the AAHAM WI Chapter. We are excited for another year of growth, collaboration, and fun!
