The Election for the IHMM Board of Directors closes on November 30. Your vote is important !

If you are certified, you received an invitation to vote from IHMM on or about November 1. Use that link to vote or contact the IHMM executive Director Gene Guilford Jr. at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  for another link to a ballot.

If you need background information about the candidates, you are welcome to contact me and I will provide what information I know about each of them. Contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

If you are not certified, now is the time to sit for the examination and become certified. One of the advantages of being certified is to be able to vote for whom you would like to see on the Board.

Also, my term on the Board will be up at the end of 2022. NEOCHMM has always had active participation in IHMM. If you have an inclination to serve on the Board, now is the time to start planning to submit your nomination for the next election cycle.   The Nomination Committee looks for your past experience with serving on Committee’s of the IHMM. To a lesser extent, service with the AHMP is also considered. If you would like to volunteer for the IHMM, check out this link: https://ihmm.org/ihmm-volunteer-center/

Also, Happy Thanksgiving from NEOCHMM and IHMM !
