OMGMA Board of Directors needs you! 

I am so glad I took the leap to apply to be on the OMGMA Board.  Participation exposes me to a diverse group of healthcare leaders across the state, improves my skills at my own job, and opens many new opportunities for me to participate in things I am passionate about.  I have also developed some great friendships.

OMGMA, your state professional association, is better and stronger when the Board consists of a cross-section of Board Members who represent a variety of practice types and all areas of the state.  Please share your talents and experiences by applying to be on the Board.

Deadline to apply is April 2, 2021. To apply, click here.
