August 2010
New AMPHL fundraising co-chairs Laura Siegel and Dawn L. have been hard at work updating our company/organization contact list that we will be using to try to recruit exhibitors and sponsors for our 2011 AMPHL conference. If you would like to help the two of them with snail mails/emails going out, please contact them at fundraising@amphl.org.
Dawn L. will also be doing roommate matchup and travel planning matchup for those needing roommates and/or looking for travel buddies for day trips while in Oregon. She will also be coordinating conference volunteer efforts if anyone wants to offer some of their time while at our conference. Email her at either matchup@amphl.org or volunteer@amphl.org based on what you are looking for.
AMPHL has selected Caption First, Inc. to provide CART for the 2011 conference. We are still trying to locate donated/low cost interpreter services so if you know of anyone please contact us at conference@amphl.org.
The September 2010 issue of AMPHL PULSE is in the works. If you have any for sale ads for stethoscopes/ALD's or any member happenings news please email editor Philip Zazove at vice-president@amphl.org.

July 2010
AMPHL has been busy with conference planning for the August 6-7, 2011 conference in Portland OR. The call for presentations is finished and ready to go. The exhibitor and attendee registration information and online signup should be finished soon. Local and travel information is being compiled. All this information will be ready to be released near the end of August 2010.
It is that time again! AMPHL will be holding elections this fall 2010 for all of its officer and board of director positions. We have just finished the elections call and the application questionnaires, and will release them on the opening date of August 1, 2010.
Shane Steele has replaced Neil McDevitt as the fire/rescue profession leader. We thank Neil for being our profession leader ever since the fire/rescue profession was added to the AMPHL website! It was time for someone else to take a turn, and Shane is very enthusiastic.
AMPHL's website has been undergoing many renovations, the latest of which is the total revamping of the stethoscope section. We hope to have the site completely updated soon! No more broken links, no more outdated information!

May 2010
AMPHL has started working on the 2011 conference registration and exhibitor forms, on setting conference fees, and on conference room and food arrangements. We have also started trying to locate donated interpreter, CART, and AV services. We will soon start working on the presentation call and travel information. After all conference information is live on the website at the end of August 2010, we will go all-out with fundraising and publicity. We especially need help locating names and contact information for potential donors, sponsors and exhibitors. If you are interested in helping us with any of these tasks, please email us at conference@amphl.org.
Webmaster Faiz Shakir has fixed AMPHL's mentorship page so that it now sorts out international mentors from U.S.A. mentors.
AMPHL's Executive Committee is still hard at work trying to update the AMPHL website. If you are interested in helping us keep our website links and information up to date, please email us at webmaster@amphl.org.
The podiatry profession is still working on its website guidelines for phase 2 of the focus group application process. We hope to soon be able to formally add podiatry to the AMPHL website.
We have had someone express an interest in adding the medical assistant profession and the phlebotomy profession. If you are a student or a professional in one of those fields and are interested in helping with the focus group application process for one of those professions, please contact focus group chair Candie Corriher at focus@amphl.org.

AMPHL's next conference will be in Portland, OR at the Marriott Portland City Center on Saturday/Sunday August 6-7, 2011. A board meeting is tentatively planned for our officers/directors on Friday night August 5, 2011. A contract with the Marriott hotel has been signed and a down payment made, so it is official!

Website updates are still underway, thank you for being patient as we work hard to update our AMPHL website.

October 2009
The Fall issue of AMPHL PULSE has been released. If anyone would like to submit an article, news, or ad for the Spring 2010 issue, please contact Philip Zazove at vice-president@amphl.org.
Conference co-chairs Candie Corriher and Brian Hartman are still checking into hotels and date availability for the Portland summer 2011 conference. Downtown Portland seems to be too $$ (hotel rooms are $160 a night), so we are expanding our search outside of the downtown Portland area. We hope to soon decide on a hotel and a date, so keep checking the AMPHL website for further details!
Website updates are still underway. If you would like to assist with updating the AMPHL website (links, articles, information), please contact AMPHL President Candie Corriher at president@amphl.org.
AMPHL Forums moderators are still needed!! Please email webmaster Faiz Shakir at webmaster@amphl.org if you are interested in helping improve what our AMPHL Forums have to offer everyone that posts asking for our help!!
We still very much need fundraising and publicity chairs or co-chairs! No experience is needed, just lots of initiative and enthusiasm. Please consider volunteering for one of these positions, we need to be sure we raise enough money and attract enough conference-goers to be able to make this Portland summer 2011 conference a successful one!! Contact AMPHL President Candie Corriher president@amphl.org if interested.
