Young Alumni Panel Sponsored by HSMA and BBO HSMA and BBO are putting together a panel of recent alumni to come and talk about their experiences in transferring into the business world from the HSM program. This will be a very educational event that will highlight how to conduct a successful internship and job search. There will be a networking event with HSM alumni at Foundation Lounge following the panel. Please come and enjoy one free drink and free appetizers! BU Symposium HSMA has put together a panel at this year's Symposium again. We will have three health care executives to discuss the recent health care reform debate, and in particular, the discussion of reforming the health care payment mechanism in Massachusetts. This should prove to be a very engaging debate on how this will affect management in health care going forward.
Registration is $25. Beacon Health Strategies Dinner Beacon Health Strategies, a managed care consultancy, will be holding a recruiting dinner in the near future. If interested, email Sean Lunde your resume: slunde@bu.edu Upcoming Conferences in Spring 2010:

Dear HSMA Member: DON'T MISS A CHANCE TO DOUBLE YOUR GIVING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!! This year HSMA is again participating in the Salvation Army Adopt-A-Family Program, which seeks to provide gifts this Holiday season for families in need. Our family of three consists of a mom, dad and one teenage boy (16). We are hoping to provide books and a movie gift card for the boy, a gift for the mom and dad and supermarket gift certificates for the family. To do this, HSMA has set a goal of raising $150. The Executive Board has agreed to match all gifts from club members up to $75 which should allow us to raise our target amount. We will also be asking for donations at the HSMA event that we will be hosting on Saturday night (see separate email for details). Please let Kevin Delaney (kdelaney79@gmail.com) or any of the other club officers know by Monday if you are interested in donating. (Note: you can give us the actual money at any point over the next couple weeks, but we need to know right away how much you intend to pledge so that the gifts can be purchased this weekend). Individual donations from students last year ranged from just a few dollars to $50 and every donation helps. Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS, HSMA Board Health Services Management Association (HSMA) We are hosting our first Thirsty Thursday of the year tomorrow night at the Lansdowne Pub right across from Fenway Park. So, drop by and enjoy a drink, and recruit your classmates. As an added bonus, they apparently have Karaoke at 9PM, so stick around to watch your favorite HSMA officers embarrass themselves by singing 80's one-hit wonders!
