Message from the NCMGMA Past President Matt Johnson

Dear Members,

Serving as the NCMGMA President this past year has been a great privilege. Without question, the highest reward has been developing new relationships with so many talented leaders and strengthening relationships with old friends. An organization is only as good as its members, and NCMGMA truly stands out with so many giving individuals that are always generous with their time and knowledge.

It isn’t easy to pull together volunteers to sit on committees, be engaged, and share their talents. We are fortunate to have so many willing to serve as chapter officers, committee chairs and members, and board of director officers. It is a time commitment that can pull you from regular day-to-day responsibilities, and your sacrifice to serve is extraordinary. Thank you for your servant leadership and for being an example for us all.

For those yet to serve on a committee or as a chapter officer, I encourage you to do so. Your ideas will be welcomed, and you will be supported regardless of your experience. This is a wonderful way to learn and give back. Please consider this as you progress as an NCMGMA member.

2022 was filled with accomplishments; too many to name them all. Let me highlight a few of them that stand out.

We had an incredibly successful Spring Conference at the Wilmington Convention Center. As meeting in person returned and gained momentum, we had a strong turnout for the event. Our affiliate members and Alliance sponsors showed up in full force, allowing us to host a fantastic experience for participants. Beyond the talented slate of speakers, the networking and roundtable activities provided many excellent exchanges. The conference closed with solid representation from our Advocacy Committee and our friends from the NC Medical Society.

A first for our organization took place later in the Spring when we held our first-ever Master Class in Winston-Salem. Sandra Jarrett and the Education Committee went to great lengths to put together an incredible two-day event featuring renowned speaker Mary Kelly, who knocked everyone’s socks off. This event was so successful that we decided to do it again in 2023. Registration is open so don’t wait long to enroll, as this event will sell out fast!

The final big event of the year was our Fall Conference, held in Cherokee, NC. The newly renovated convention center at Harrah’s Casino made for the perfect venue to meet. Todd Pittman and the Conference Committee once again outdid themselves with the slate of speakers and activities at this conference. The vendor hall was packed, and lots of fun was had by all. The work for the 2023 conferences started almost immediately after the Fall Conference, so stay tuned for more.

In a time when we have seen the competition for employees at its most significant in recent history, we have leaned on each other for ideas for attracting and retaining talent. The listserv has been an incredible resource for us. Additionally, there may not be a more critical time than now to have an up-to-date Salary Survey as we evaluate our current payroll. We are fortunate to have this tool, as many states do not. Participation is crucial for it to continue and to remain relevant. Thank you to Frank Chitty and that Committee for putting this together, and thank you to all who have supplied data.

I thought I could be brief with this update, but there were just too many accomplishments that needed acknowledging, and I’m sure I’m leaving some out.

Another one that stands out for me was watching the growth of our Student Outreach Committee. John Clement and Lee Katherine Ayerhart led this committee to see a greater increase in student participants than we have had in years! We have also seen a resurgence of the Wilmington Chapter, which is very exciting. I can’t wait to see what’s next for our organization.

None of these achievements would be possible without the sage leadership of our Executive Director, Melissa Klingberg. She is a tireless worker and the glue that keeps us all together. Serving beside her was an honor and privilege.

I’ve had the luxury of seeing some previews of things ahead for 2023. With NCMGMA’s 2022-23 president, you can count on a fantastic year with Chad Ghorley at the helm. Please support him, as so many of you have helped me, as we continue to be the “leaders for tomorrow’s healthcare.”

Respectfully Submitted,

Matt Johnson, MA, MBA
NCMGMA Immediate Past President

Message from 2020-21 NCMGMA President Amanda McKinney

Message from the President

I want to take a moment to personally thank our NCMGMA members. Most of us have felt the effects as our state’s healthcare industry has struggled through this pandemic, and I know some practices, companies, and managers are still facing enormous challenges as we continue to push forward. If there is a positive that has come from this most challenging season, it is that our North Carolina healthcare community is unquestionably strong.

As an association, NCMGMA has worked diligently to continue to keep up the support and resources needed through various channels, as we were unable to meet in person. Through the listserv, state-hosted webinars, surveys, advocacy-efforts, and locally hosted educational events and opportunities, we have done a phenomenal job remaining relevant to practices and our industry partners through this pandemic.

Today, many of us can see the light at the end of the COVID tunnel. With an extraordinary effort towards vaccinations in our local communities and across the state, we have begun to cautiously evaluate opportunities for engagement beyond our virtual learning avenues. Our community has offered so much to many of us this year via the wonder of technology, but I know we are eager to have sidebar chats and meet new people outside of the confines of a small box on our laptop screens.

I am proud to say NCMGMA will be meeting, in-person, this May for our Annual Conference, one of the first healthcare associations in NC to do so. I am grateful to our staff, committee, and industry partners for the support and commitment to ensuring the safety of our members. For many of us, attending an in-person meeting will be incredibly helpful to our work within the healthcare domain. Our continued focus on NCMGMA’s main pillars of networking, education and advocacy is critical.

For those of you who are able and willing, I encourage you to make the investment of time and resources to attend this meeting. The content is strong, the location is fabulous, and I am comforted by the commitment of so many to our safety. For those who simply cannot make it in May, we understand and are hoping to welcome you this October in Asheville for our Fall Conference.

I am looking forward to seeing many of you in just a few weeks in Myrtle Beach. I appreciate our NCMGMA community members who have already stepped forward to attend and look forward to celebrating the resilience and success of our industry together!
