Succession Plan

MoHIMA Succession Plan

The Missouri Health Information Management Association (MOHIMA) implemented a Succession Plan in 2025 to ensure the continuance of strong leadership in MoHIMA. This plan helps MoHIMA identify potential members with the skills needed to become the future leaders of our association. By introducing Succession Plan Members to the MoHIMA Board processes, serving on a committee, and reviewing the bylaws, strategic plan, and policies and procedures, we hope to nurture potential leaders into strong future leaders to ensure a smooth transition of MoHIMA leadership.
