Happy New Year Everyone!! I hope all of you have had a great New Year so far. The Spartanburg Chapter has started off the New Year with the Chapter’s Annual January Business Meeting in which we elected our new officers for the year 2010-2011, delegates and alternate delegate to the SCSMA House of Delegates meeting in March and our board member and alternate board member. They are as follows:

I want to personally thank the medical assistant students from Spartanburg Community College who have been attending our meetings. We really enjoy having all of you attending the monthly meetings and taking a part, and we look forward to having you join and become a part of our chapter for many years!!

In February we will be having a speaker from Bailey Israel’s office on HIV and in March we will have a speaker from South Carolina Solutions speaking about Medicaid. In April we will have our installation of officers so we will not have a speaker this month. We are hoping to have installation at Fatz Cafe on Southport Road, we will send out a message to everyone on the e-mail list when reservations are finalized. This will be held on April 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Remember the SCSMA Annual Conference will be held March 18-21 in Charleston, SC hosted by the Charleston Chapter. Please make your plans to be there. It is going to be a lot of fun!!
