This month, Patti Cullen, President/CEO of Care Providers of Minnesota, and Gail Sheridan, Chair of the Board of Directors, will be making their way across this frozen tundra we call home. The January Region Meetings will, as always, provide you and your staff CEUs* at NO COST! Not only are the Region Meetings a complimentary benefit to members, they also happen to be in your neck of the woods!

METRO REGION UPDATE: The Region 6 meeting will be held in the same building as the Care Providers of Minnesota office, down one level in room 114 (it was previously noted as across the street in room 110).

Agenda items to be discussed during the January Region Meetings include:
Preparation for the 2011 Session
Health Care Reform Implementation Update
Input on Association Strategic Planning Retreat
Brainstorming on Regulatory Relief Possibilities
Process for Applying for AHCA/NCAL Quality Awards
