2017 Year In-Review
As our second full year comes to a close, it is time to celebrate the year that was 2017 and to look ahead to 2018. I personally want to thank each of you for your support and commitment to AIHP. Who are blessed to have members that are passionate, collaborative and give so much of their time to help AIHP advance our mission.
I am looking forward to 2018 being the best year yet for AIHP as an association. As with any business it takes time to build a brand and the resources that are needed to create a strong financial foundation. At this 2018 Knowledge Sharing Summit & Marketplace in Norfolk we will be sharing with the member key successes in 2017, where we stand from a financial position and what the future holds. I am hoping that I will see you there for that conversation.
This time of year, is always a time for reflection, thankfulness and giving back. For me, it is also time to reflect on AIHP’s journey in 2017 and give thanks for the support you’ve shown the organization through your membership.
Here are a few of AIHP’s accomplishments in 2017.

These relationships take time and commitment. Someone once said, “If you are not at the table, you are on the menu.” So, our motivation will always be to try and get AIHP a seat at the table. “
