As I sit here writing this message from the airport after attending HFMA’s national conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I cannot express the happiness it brings me to finally be able to be back on-site at our conferences. This marks the second conference in November I have been able to attend since the pandemic, and it was wonderful getting to see so many familiar faces. I can honestly say that Region 9 and HFMA’s Annual Conference were both a huge success even with the challenges of COVID. This brings me great hope that our meeting in December will also be a wonderful event.
