  Founders Update

The 2001-2002 HFMA fiscal year concluded 5/31/02. In turn, all accumulated Georgia Chapter Founders Points activity for the year has been compiled and submitted to the national HFMA office for permanent recordkeeping.

All HFMA members have the capability of logging on to the national HFMA website to view overall lifetime founders points (excluding points earned during the current year). The following are instructions to navigate to this section on the website.

1. Go to the HFMA home page at www.hfma.org, then click on "Member Login"
2. Enter your Login Info (instructions are provided for first time users)
3. At "HFMA Member Login Successful," click on "Membership" then "Membership Directory"
4. Upon "Processing" completion, click on your name in the "Profile" box
5. Scroll down to view a summary of annual Founders Point totals

With respect to the Georgia Chapter website (www.georgiahfma.org), look out for new enhancements during the coming months. Specific to Founders Points, plans are in development to provide Georgia members the capability to access point totals for the current year, thus relating an up-to-date snapshot of point totals at any given moment. Until this convenience is established, the inquisitive and curious may request current year point totals by sending an email to pete.hogan@ishealthcare.com.

FAQ - How do I get credit for attending a different chapters function?

Answer - Georgia Chapter members participating in another chapter's activity should submit proof of attendance/participation to the Georgia Chapter Founders Point Chairperson. For example, if you attended the Florida Chapter Spring Institute, submit your payment receipt for institute point credit. All events sponsored by National HFMA (ie. ANI) are recorded by the national office and are not to be reported by individual chapters.
