Dear Illinois Society of Medical Assistants Members & All Medical Assistants and Guests:

​

As the holidays are now underway, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration, surrounded by loved ones and reflecting on all that you are grateful for. It’s a time to appreciate the blessings in our lives, and I trust you made the most of this special occasion.

​

As we approach the end of the year, I would like to remind everyone that AAMA dues are due by December 31st. By renewing your membership, you continue to enjoy a variety of valuable benefits, including professional development opportunities, access to important resources, including the CMA Today magazine, and the support of a dedicated network of medical assistants nationwide. It’s an investment in your career, and I encourage you to renew today if you haven’t already.

​

Additionally, we are actively seeking volunteers at both the state and chapter levels. We need passionate and dedicated individuals to help us continue our mission and further our goals. If you're looking to get more involved in the Illinois Society of Medical Assistants and make a difference in our profession, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or another board member. We need YOU! Wishing you all   a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year.  Please look to our website https://www.illinoissma.org/   for upcoming Events.  IN early Spring- April 25-26, 2025 Illinois State Conference held in Peoria, IL at the Holiday Inn & Suites 7601 N. Orange Prairie Road, Peoria, IL   

 

Sincerely,

 

Katherine Schoonhoven, CMA
