Not-So-Silent Auction

Held annually at AHIMA's Convention, the AHIMA Foundation's Not-So-Silent Auction is a great opportunity to show off your company, CSA, CoP, or community. Over 4,000 attendees, exhibitors, and guests visit the auction - placing their bids and upping the ante to take home a fabulous item!

Donating to the Not-So-Silent Auction is a great way to promote your organization —with opportunity to include your logo and booth number on the bid sheet —it’s also a great way to support the profession. Proceeds from the Auction directly support the Foundation's Merit scholarship program. This growing program rewards academic excellence by supporting undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in health information management. The 2009 goal is to have 50% more items than 2008 for your bidding pleasure! We can reach that goal with your cooperation in donating an item, by following the simple instructions below.
