Home > Committees .:
This page includes various committee projects that AMPHL is currently working on. We always need assistance. If you would like to serve on a particular committee, please contact the committee chairperson.
"Advocacy" Committee
The purpose of this committee is to be pro-active with public policy and/ or
political issues affecting health care professionals with hearing losses.
The goal is to increase our access into health care professions. Currently,
the main advocacy project is ensuring the manufacture of a clear surgical
mask that enables lipreading. Contact the committee chairperson Stacey for
more information on how to get involved.
"AMPHL Conference" Committee
This committee is in charge of organizing and coordinating
the AMPHL conference, which is held at a different location each time. The conference
encompasses presentations by a variety of individuals on topics relevant to AMPHL's
audience, a stethoscope and assistive listening device (ALD) display, and an
opportunity for attendees to network and provide valuable input regarding AMPHL's
future projects and goals. The conference committee is also responsible for putting together panel presentations at other conferences such as the ones we have done in the past at the PepNet, SHHH, and AGBell conferences.
"AMPHL Website" Committee
The website committee has the task of keeping the AMPHL website information up-to-date. This committee is low priority and on-going. Please contact: Sam.
"Bylaws" Commitee
The bylaw committee is responsible for evaluating AMPHL's bylaws in light of new conflicts and goals that arise throughout AMPHL's operations. Any changes that may be necessary to the bylaws are discussed and drafted by the bylaw committee prior to presentation for discussion, revision and approval to AMPHL's Directors and Officers. Please contact: Danielle.
"Focus Group" Committee
The purpose of this committee is to determine which healthcare disciplines or fields AMPHL will represent. This ensures that AMPHL is able to effectively represent as many professions as possible without becoming too diverse and without creating redundancy of services that can be found through other advocacy groups such as NAD, SHHH, and AGBell. Please contact the committee chairperson: Candie.
"Fundraising" Committee
The purpose of this committee is to secure donations from corporate donors. These donations are the basis of AMPHL's operating abilities and ensure funding for advocacy and conferences. Committee work mainly involves mailing/emailing donation requests and followup letters. AMPHL is in need of a new fundraising chairperson, the position is currently vacant. Email AMPHL President Candie if you are interested in being fundraising chair or in getting involved with the fundraising committee.
"Publicity" Committee
This committee searches for opportunities to help spread the word about AMPHL and its services. This includes contacting colleges and universities, training programs, and disability offices. The publicity committee is also responsible for publicity for AMPHL events such as conferences and formal social gatherings. E-mail Liz.
"Registry" Committee
The purpose of this committee is to establish and
maintain a registry of healthcare professionals with
hearing loss for statistical and historical data. E-mail Nghi or Thomas.
"Secondary School/Outreach" Committee
This committee's goal is to reach out to individuals with hearing loss at an early age and increase their awareness of the number of successful health care professionals with hearing loss and of AMPHL and the support it can provide. Please contact: Mike or Marcia.
"Subscribership" Committee
The subscribership committee has the task of establishing and overseeing a system by which a yearly set dollar amount from an individual will allow that individual to obtain benefits. Such benefits include access to restricted portions of the AMPHL website, and discounts on conference fees, stethoscopes, and AMPHL logo items. Our task is on-going as the subscribership committee will need to continually re-evaluate the benefits offered. Please contact: Nancy.
"Finance" Committee
The finance committee is headed by AMPHL Treasurer Bess Veyberman and is responsible for overseeing AMPHL's finances and making decisions on how such funds will be used. Finance committee members must be AMPHL directors or officers, but suggestions/comments are always welcome.
