Secretary - Alicia Patrick  tuc00622@temple.edu

I am a junior in Temple University's HIM program, one of U.S. News and World's top 9 college majors. I am also a Resident Assistant in a residence hall on Main Campus. I am currently a student member of AHIMA, PHIMA and SePHIMA. 
 
As the secretary of HIMSA I will act as an intermediary between both the senior and junior classes as well as the association and the program's student body. I will create and distribute an updated monthly calendar, record meeting minutes, maintain an accurate student contact list and help to plan and organize events campus-wide as well as within the program. In addition to this I will work closely with the other officers to restructure the HIM student association so that it performs to its best abilities while being more productive and beneficial to the students in the program.

As the new Community Service Chair for HIMSA, Amanda Nash is excited to bring her prior experience of volunteering and volunteer coordination to this new position. Being from Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, a local Philadelphia suburb, Amanda has had amazing experiences volunteering in Philadelphia and hopes to share these opportunities with all HIM students. Amanda found HIM through transferring to Temple a year ago and feels so grateful to have found a major which fits her so well. She hopes to pursue an HIM career with a clinical focus and looks forward to the rest of her career in Temple's HIM program.
