Wow. Been awhile since I posted here -- OBVIOUSLY! I intend for that to change with the advent of my being appointed District 1 Director this week by the AHDI National Leadership Board.
To catch you up some, if you weren't aware, the position was recently vacated by Jay Vance who, for health reasons, was compelled to resign. Now those are some tough footsteps to follow!
Per the bylaws, the NLB is to fill any such vacancies with a member in good standing who lives within the district in question. Okay: membership dues: check. Live within Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona or the Canadian territories in the district. Check (Hillsboro, Oregon)
What I haven't said anything about is the NLB tagging someone who wants the job. I am ready to move from the national level to greater involvement with the west coast rather than spreading myself over all of AHDI. It was challenging and exciting being an officer of AHDI, including president 2010-2011, but I am ready for another challenge. Count me in.
I hope District 1 members and others will join me in a conversation here and elsewhere once in awhile, about healthcare, about our profession, about our association, about what is on your mind and mine.
Meanwhile, I am headed over to the AHDI District 1 blog to post my first message there. And I'll be back here soon to update this whole thing! See you later!

AHDI District 1 Director
