• “Frankly, I can't imagine being an HIM student and not being a member of AHIMA. The wealth of information offered in the Journal of AHIMA is reason enough to join. Not to mention the other opportunities, including the CoP and Job Bank. It helps paint a clear picture of positions available to an HIM graduate.” —Trina Wright
• “My AHIMA membership has been very instrumental to my success as a student. Membership’s benefits are countless. I love that AHIMA keeps me up to date on information that is vital to me not only as a student but as soon-to-be professional as well.” — Kayla Zirbes
