President’s Message – Summer 2026

I hope you all are enjoying the warmth of summer and have had the opportunity to take some time to relax, recharge, and spend some time with family and friends.

As we look ahead, we have several exciting opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together.  Our Annual Wine Tour will be held on Thursday, September 24, followed by our Fall Meeting on Friday, September 25, in beautiful Charlottesville, Virginia.  Registration is now open for both events, and I encourage you to reserve your spot early.  We are looking forward to another outstanding educational meeting and the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues from across the Commonwealth.

We are also excited to announce that our Annual Winter Meeting will be held on December 9 & 10 at the beautiful Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia.  Additional details and registration information will be shared soon -- we hope you'll make plans to join us.

This spring, our chapter hosted a complimentary certification webinar series, and I want to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone who participated and to the volunteers who helped make these sessions such a success. Thank you for your commitment to professional development and continuing education.

Looking beyond our chapter, the AAHAM Annual National Institute (ANI) will be held October 18-21, 2026, at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  ANI is always an exceptional opportunity to learn from industry leaders, network with peers from across the country, and earn valuable educational credits.  I hope many of you will be able to attend.

As our chapter continues to grow, we are currently seeking a Certification Chair.  If you've been looking for a way to become more involved with Virginia AAHAM, I would love to speak with you about this rewarding leadership opportunity.

We are also working to enhance our quarterly newsletter and would appreciate your input.  If you have ideas for future articles, member spotlights, industry updates, or educational content, please reach out to our Publications Chair, Sara Quick at [email protected].  Your contributions help make this newsletter a valuable resource for all of our members.

As always, your feedback is important to us.  If there are topics you would like to see at future meetings or additional ways the chapter can support you, please don't hesitate to reach out.  We are committed to providing meaningful education opportunities and fostering a strong, engaged community of healthcare revenue cycle professionals.

Thank you for your continued support of Virginia AAHAM.  It is an honor to serve as your President, and I look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events.

Warm regards,

Amy Beech, CRCE

President, Virginia Chapter of AAHAM
