I am torn about my time as Kansas Chapter of HIMSS president coming to an end after two years. I so enjoyed serving our organization in the leadership role and will miss it. We grew our membership double digits each year, continued to expand the quality and content of our educational and conference offerings, and expanded the communication of the benefits of being a member.
Welcome to the first issue of the Kansas Chapter of HIMSS e-newsletter.
We hope you enjoy this new way to keep you informed of the exciting news of our chapter and members of the Kansas Chapter of HIMSS.
The leadership of the Kansas Chapter of HIMSS has identi-fied the newsletter as a way
to keep members informed of healthcare technology, up-coming events and chapter news.
The board members are ex-cited to provide this tool for communication and corre-spondence with members.
Fellow KSHIMSS Chapter members:
I am looking forward to serving as the chapter president for the next two years. As incoming president I would like noth- ing better than to meet each of you this year at one of our chapter events.
