Position Statement
AHIMA's core values are Integrity, Bold, and Inclusive. How would you incorporate these into your service if elected to the AHIMA Board of Directors?
AHIMA's core values of integrity, boldness, and inclusivity strongly align with both my professional career and my personal leadership philosophy, as well as my deep commitment to ethical practice. If elected to serve on the AHIMA Board of Directors, I would model these values not only in decisions but also in how I listen, collaborate, and advocate for members and for the future of the HIM profession.
Integrity is the foundation of trust within an organization and across the communities it serves. For me, integrity and ethics are inseparable. As a health information educator and leader, I have built my work around transparency, ethical decision-making, and accountability. On the Board, I would ask thoughtful questions, seek evidence before action, and support decisions that are grounded in ethical standards and guided by AHIMA's mission rather than by convenience or tradition. I believe integrity also requires the willingness to evaluate existing practices and support change when current processes no longer meet the needs of members.
Being bold means having the courage to lead ethically during times of rapid change. The HIM profession continues to evolve, bringing new technologies, data challenges, and regulatory pressures that require strong ethical guidance. AHIMA must remain forward-thinking in how it supports members, embraces innovation, and prepares the next generation of professionals while also protecting patient trust and data integrity. I would bring a growth-oriented mindset to the Board that supports strategic risk-taking, data-informed decisions, and continuous improvement without compromising ethical responsibility.
Inclusivity is essential to creating a profession where all voices are valued and treated with respect. Ethical leadership requires that policies and decisions consider their impact on diverse populations and communities. As an educator who works with students and professionals from different backgrounds and experiences, I believe strong organizations are built through representation, access, and belonging. If elected, I would seek input from members across regions, career stages, and practice settings, including those who may feel underrepresented or unheard. I would support initiatives that expand access to education, leadership pathways, and professional development so that AHIMA reflects the diversity of the communities it serves.
Incorporating integrity, boldness, inclusivity, and ethical leadership is an ongoing commitment. If given the opportunity to serve, I will lead with purpose, listen with intention, and act with accountability to help AHIMA grow stronger, more innovative, and more inclusive for all.
