Have you surfaced after 4th quarter? I hope so, and I hope you have taken some time to rejuvenate!
We will be sending out our annual report of chapter accomplishments in the next couple of days,and this newsletter is full of good stuff so I won't write a long article.
Now is the time to get involved with your local chapter. We would not accomplish ANYTHING if it weren't for the time, treasure and talent our volunteers give to bring value to our association. It's only as hard as you want it to be - we just want you to participate! We have been working on a succession plan for leadership and we need more rising stars to surface. We should have contested races for our board of director positions every year , it is a true honor to serve on the board of directors of the Los Angeles Association of Health Underwriters.
If you want change to occur, be a part of it! I can tell you from experience, participation grows you personally AND professionally. (That doesn't even include the extra benefits/rewards you receive as a board member - such as comped admission to our monthly member meetings, and a chance to put your name in the hat for stipends to attend Capitol Conference in Washington D.C. and NAHU's Annual Convention - taking place in Orlando, FL this year). Email
info@laahu.org or contact me at
dawn@mnmbenefitsolutions.com if you want to find out how you can get more out of your membership!
At our most recent meeting we had Judi Rose, VP/Chief Development Officer of the San Fernando Valley Healthcare Clinic, present the clinic's value to our community. In participation with the
NAHU Education Foundation, LAAHU has chosen to begin its efforts of supporting San Fernando Valley Healthcare Clinic. A big thank you to Kerry Wright,
Barry Sikov and
Alan Katz for fostering a relationship with the clinic. We have set a goal to raise $2000 in donations in the month of March. Please email
info@laahu.org OR bring a check and/or your credit card to our
March 16th monthly membership meeting (Ethics, Ethics, Ethics!).
Click here to read more details of the impact of this clinic on our community and if you are interested in a tour of the facility we would be happy to arrange it.
As always, thank you for your membership and I encourage you to reach out to any of us on the board with questions, ideas, or if you just want to get involved. You can find our contact information on the website at www.laahu.org. Here is to your continued success!
Warmest Regards,
Dawn McFarland
LAAHU President

I didn't think my trip to D.C. could get any better until I stepped into Cola's cab. Pronounced like Coca Cola he told me. Cola is from Nairobi and moved to D.C. many years ago. I said to him where is President Obama now that there are so many changes to his health care law? Cola immediately commented that life has both positive and negatives, we must look at the positive side. Governments and administrations have both positive and negatives. There is both good and bad. We need to focus on the good. Only seeing the negative is not living at all. We are so focused on materialism, on the size of our houses, and on the future that we do not enjoy today. Look at Steve Jobs he said. All the money in the world, a brilliant mind, running one of the world's most successful and influential companies, and his life was cut short. We have to enjoy today. We don't know what tomorrow will bring. No matter how much you have you cannot control everything in life. Despite his heavy accent I got it. And I agree. We do need to look at both sides and recognize maybe we won't have the exact results we want, but there is more than one way to get there. Then again, I came to Washington to make our voices, and to help protect the future of our healthcare system. To have a dialogue with our lawmakers in Congress, to educate them on behalf of hundreds of millions of Americans at risk of losing their health insurance as a result of the new administrations proposed changes, to make a difference. What an exciting experience it is to participate in the political process, to make a contribution, and I hope, to be a part of the solution. I am so very proud have the opportunity to speak directly to our lawmakers in Congress about what is impo
rtant to each and everyone one of us, our healthcare, our family's healthcare, and preserving the employer based healthcare system that has worked so well for over 70 years. What an amazing trip! Thank you for this enriching experience. I am hooked!
Best wishes, Barbara Oberman-Lippe
