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?  

Integrity is central to health information professions. I am committed to advancing trustworthy health data by promoting strong standards for data quality, privacy, security, and ethical stewardship. Board decisions should reflect transparency, accountability, and a commitment to protecting the integrity of the information that supports patient care.

I will work to ensure AHIMA continues to elevate diverse voices across practice settings, career stages, and communities, while expanding opportunities for mentorship, engagement, and leadership development.

By grounding decisions in these values, I will help AHIMA continue to empower health information professionals and advance trusted health information nationwide.
