Education/Speakers Committee- The goal of the education committee is to provide educational opportunities for the members based on the National MGMA core body of knowledge. The body of knowledge identifies the various knowledge and skills required of today’s medical practice executive based on the eight identified competencies. The committee responsibilities include surveying the members to determine their areas of interest and then seeking qualified individuals as speakers or educators. Speakers may be local talents from various business backgrounds or nationally recognized speakers. Goals include creating a working list of past speakers and topics, having the membership complete evaluations of speakers and help make recommendations to the State Meeting education committee. In addition, the education committee might suggest a budget for paid speakers for board approval.
