Program Overview & Presentations
HSMAI annually hosts a Chapter Leadership Forum for their volunteer leaders. An invitation is extended to all chapter leaders to attend a special meeting to say thank you to the chapter leadership in the Americas. The meeting is organized as a forum to meet with other chapter leaders, to discuss common issues and present outstanding speakers on educational topics. Winners of the Frank W. Berkman Chapter Award Program are also announced during the Leadership Forum at a special award dinner. There is no registration fee for the event. The chapter normally pays the transportation and hotel costs for their chapter president, president-elect, and the managing director. All chapter board members are welcome.
