It’s Membership Renewal Time!

HPMSNJ’s membership runs on a calendar year basis. Therefore, regardless of when you join, memberships expire each year on 12/31. So it’s that time again to renew your 2009 memberships in order to retain your active status, or to join as a brand new 2010 member! Membership renewal reminders are being sent out via e-mail, will appear in newsletters and will be mailed to you this year. If you are ready to renew your membership now, visit the Membership section of this web site by clicking here and download the 2010 registration form.

New for this year, HMSNJ is accepting credit card payments for memberships! Information is contained on the registration forms.

To learn more about membership benefits, click here or contact Eileen Horton at ehorton@capitalhealth.org or 609-815-7318.

Please note that in order to qualify for membership pricing for any of our sessions you will need to renew prior to or along with registration for an event!

New Events Posted!

Several 2010 events have been posted and registration is open! Visit the Upcoming Events page here to learn more!

Looking For a Few Good Men and Women
HPMSNJ is asking for more volunteers! The only prerequisite? A desire to work with others and commitment to a task or event! We are looking for dedicated members to join committees and help plan the future of the society. We also have plenty of smaller, specific tasks that you can help out with on a one-time basis, such as helping with registration at an event or drafting a flier. Committees include special events, communications, membership, education, sponsorship and awards.

Worried that you don’t have enough experience or are new to the society? Don’t fear! You’ll be working with many of your talented peers and will always be working with an experienced committee chair who will oversee any projects.

Concerned about time? We need volunteers for tasks large and small!

Have a talent you’d like to share but are not sure what committee to join? Are you good at writing, or have a talent for design? Are you comfortable reaching out to new members or sponsors, or do you have ideas for events you’d like to share? Contact this year’s President, Annie Steelman, at 215.399.1865 or asteelman@hss-inc.com and we’ll put your talent and limited time to good use!
