    2. One AMHCA: Pertains to changes is the membership structure between AMHCA and state affiliates. Bryce is participating on the One AMHCA committee. Consensus is that UMHCA would not want to be absent from the pilot group but more information is needed. Gray also mentioned a third idea that could also be an option, which he will take to AMHCA leadership.
      1. No complete update on Membership Management System, a shared database process between state affiliates and AMHCA.

The process includes evaluating the survey, gathering statistics, analysis and report. UMHCA has accepted the opportunity to service. Terri Goldstein will represent UMHCA on the committee.
    4. Gray discussed the importance of UMHCA board members participating in the various AMHCA committees.
    5. Gray also discussed needing someone to replace him on AMHCA over the next several years. Commitment is about two hours a week and representative must be a AMHCA member. It is about the desire to contribute, not the expertise. AMHCA is looking for other committee members.

3  Education & Conference Committee (EACC) Update of progress  in board

  1. New Projects
  2. Update of Progress    The Summer Series went well.  We had 151 registrants and 122 attended one or all sessions for a total of 81% attendance.  Engagement during sessions was good. There seems to be strong, continued interest in the online/on-demand sessions now available for CEs.  UMHCA  has earned $8,800 from the events, with ongoing earning expected to continue.  Thanks to Jim and Carrie for hosting and managing the events.  They worked hard and did a great job!

Feedback was favorable, noting that the content was relevant, presenters were effective,  the low cost was compelling, and they liked the focus on ethics.  Concerns to sort out for future online sessions: 

  • emails with session links were sometimes "blocked" making it hard for some attendees to get access
  • tracking attendance is cumbersome given the platforms used
  • ideally there is a way we can show more faces (cameras on) during sessions, so presenters have a sense of their audience.  

We now wonder about the possibility of doing quarterly sessions, live online (and subsequently available for on-demand viewing).  


On a separate note, we have approved 14 CE seminar applications during 2020.
