It is critical that the Georgia Delegates hear your thoughts.  Please respond to the questions below and then take a look at what your colleagues had to say.

What is the proposal?  The proposal would change AHIMA’s bylaws to combine the existing active and associate membership categories into one category, active. 

What is the difference between active and associate membership qualifications and privileges? Currently, the AHIMA bylaws state that any individual with an AHIMA certification in good standing is eligible for active membership. Active members are entitled to “all membership privileges including the right to vote.” Currently, the bylaws state that individuals who do not have an AHIMA credential are eligible for associate membership. Associate members may serve on committees and subcommittees and vote on those committees, but they do not have other voting privileges and cannot hold office or serve as delegates.
