I was so excited to see the AAMA’s Medical Assistants Recognition Week (MARWeek) theme in public that I pulled into the lot, took a picture, and even took a quick video. Fast forward to last month—while going through some reminders—I recalled my intention to send a thank-you note to the practice manager for recognizing their medical assistants and to introduce myself. Life had gotten busy, and I had not followed through. But on that day, I decided to do something better: I stopped by the office with a sweet treat for their team of medical assistants and to personally thank the practice manager. I am so happy I did this! The manager and I ended up talking for over an hour—about the AAMA, the 2025 AAMA Annual Conference in Arlington, Virginia, and the incredible value the AAMA offers in continuing education, networking, and both personal and professional growth. What surprised me most from the conversations that day was that none of the medical  \nassistants at the office realized that by being a member of theAAMA, they were also members of their state society—and were missing out on even more opportunities for continuing education and networking.  \nThis made me wonder how many states are in the same boat. So, how do we get the word out? My advice: Take the risk. Start the conversation. Ask your coworkers whether they know about theAAMA. If they say yes, take it one step further—ask whether they know they are also part of their state society and possibly even a local chapter in their own backyard. One simple conversation can open a world of opportunities!  \nDo you have other ideas that could help theAAMA? There are so manyways to get involved! The AAMA offers a variety of committees, strategy teams, and task forces you can join.  \nVisit the “Volunteer Opportunities” webpage on the AAMA website. There, you’ll find the AAMA Volunteer Leadership Application—download it, fill it out, and submit it by August 1. Whether you’re interested in the Board of Trustees, the Continuing Education Board, or the Certifying Board, there’s a place for your voice and passion.  \nWant to learn a little more information before committing? Check out the “Volunteer Resources” and the “Leader’s Center” webpages. And read the Volunteer Leadership Position Descriptions document to learn more about each committee, strategy team, or task force and the time commitment involved.  \nSo, what’s your passion? What’s your why?  \nI can’t wait to hear your stories and see you all in person this September in Arlington, Virginia,  \nfor theAAMA Annual Conference!  \nVirginia Thomas, CMA (AAMA) 2024–2025 President  \nAAMA® Mission  \nThe mission of the American Association of Medical Assistants® is to provide the medical assistant professional with education, certification, credential acknowledgment, networking opportunities, scope-of-practice protection, and advocacy for quality patientcentered health care.  \nCMA (AAMA)® Certification  \nThe CMA (AAMA) is awarded to candidates who pass the CMA (AAMA) Certification Exam.
