To find out more on becoming a KHIMA-AHIMA member go to our FAQs page:  http://www.khima.org/faq/faq.html  AHIMA modernized the bylaws that strategically align all entities to deliver member value, increase agility, incorporate Association best practices, and comply with the evolution of corporate, federal, and state law. The membership name change from Senior to Emeritus was considered, approved, and adopted by AHIMA’s governance structure, the House of Delegates. The switch to Emeritus does not affect your dues or benefits. It was implemented as an association best practice while conducting the legal review of the bylaws.
