What’s new with AHAP!

AHAP Conference Contest!

We are once again gearing up for our annual AHAP Conference, which will take place May 12-13 at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

For the past two years, we have conducted a contest to give away a few free seats to the conference. We know travel budgets have shrunk over the past few years and this contest gives members a chance to attend the conference when they might not have had one otherwise. We will give away one free registration to the conference at the end of February and another one at the end of March.

To enter, submit a sample tool or policy to share with your fellow AHAP members. (Please send all entries directly to mphillion@hcpro.com.) The tools can be any examples that have helped you do your job better. These sample documents will be posted to the AHAP Blog throughout the month.

Note: This year we have decided to extend the options for what can be submitted to the contest to include a brief write-up about a recent (2010-2011) accreditation survey.

We will draw a winner at random from among eligible entries at the end of each month and notify the winner by email, as well as announce the winner on the AHAP Blog. Once you enter the contest, your entry remains valid for the remainder of the contest, although multiple entries are allowed. Winners will be responsible for paying for airfare and hotel, but not the registration fee. Those who have already registered for the conference are not eligible to win.

Please note: you must either be the owner of the submitted document or have the right to grant permission to reprint the document. By entering this contest, contestants hereby represent and warrant that they have the right to grant the permission to republish the submitted tool or policy and hereby grant to HCPro, Inc., its licensees and assigns, the right to republish such selection as outlined above in any works, derivative or otherwise, published by HCPro, Inc., or its affiliates in any media now known or hereafter devised throughout the world.
