Having just returned from the national AMHCA conference, I have a heightened interest in pursuing certain actions as soon as possible.

 

The action for which I am asking your help is the immediate development/enhancement of TMHCA's website.

 

First, Jeffrey should be acknowledged as establishing a website for TMHCA.  His efforts have been significant.  Jeffrey, thank you.

 

Second, imagine that you represent TMHCA at the awards luncheon and that as you approach the stage to receive an honor for TMHCA, the organization that is given credit for the award is not TMHCA.  The fact is that, while TMHCA was honored at the awards luncheon, the large screen projected the logo and name of another Tennessee organization as the recipient of the award.  

 

To be clear, we have the award.  The wrong organization was named on the big screen, though, because the awards committee located the Tennessee organization through an internet search.  Unfortunately, the committee found an organization that is not TMHCA.  

 

Third, repeatedly, individuals ask me how to locate TMHCA.  At this time, we have a weak answer.

 

Four, repeatedly, individuals tell me that they cannot locate TMHCA.

 

Five, we have a lot of good information about which our members and others should know.  The information includes professional development events, contact information for TCA and TMHCA leaders, resources that are available through AMHCA, critically important information about changes in licensing rules, and much, much more.

 

Six, at this time, TMHCA has positive momentum.  A website is important to the efforts that may keep the momentum going.

 

Well, lest this appear to be an enduring and pointless lament, here is the question:  WHO IS AVAILABLE TO CONTINUE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WEBSITE FOR TMHCA?

 

Thanks for your thoughts, support, and obvious commitments to our profession.

 

See you soon.
