message from out going President Terri Flanagan |

Take pride in your profession. Medical assisting is a career. Do not have the attitude that being a medical assistant is “just a job” If you want others to respect your profession then YOU have to respect it.
Get credentialed, stay credentialed. Passing the certification test validates the knowledge you have learned. Becoming and staying certified proves to yourself and to others that you are a professional. It shows you care enough about yourself, your patients, your employer and your profession when you stay current with your education and credential.
Membership in this professional organization is an important part of enforcing your commitment to your profession. This is your organization. Whether it continues to exist is up to you. At National convention it was heartbreaking to hear of state organizations which have folded due to lack of participation of its members. We need to work at keeping our grass roots chapters together and functional. Already we are experiencing the disintegration of our local chapters. Granite City Chapter has dissolved. Great Lakes chapter is about to. You will gain from this society what you put into it. I am imploring you to get more involved. Don’t allow our Minnesota society of medical assistants to fade away. Talk to me or any of the board members about how to become more involved. Check out the website often for meeting announcements.
Our dues are only $81 per year. Dues fees have not increased in over 15 years. National office has made it easy for you to pay. You can make monthly payments, you can charge it. According to financial guru, Suze Orman, good credit spending is investing in YOU through education. That means, when you are contemplating whether to charge a “new do” at the salon or charge your AAMA dues, you should choose to:
“PRIMP your profession”!!
Make that investment in yourself…in your profession…you’re worth it!
Thank you for letting me serve as your 2007 president.
Terri Flanagan, CMA-C 2007 MSMA president
