New! HHCANY Committees
HHCANY invites its members to participate in and join our committees. Your input is extremely important to help us improve our services. We need participation from every segment of our profession and industry, welcoming hearing aid dispensers, audiologists, ENT specialists, and related business owners to ensure collaborative representation and diverse perspectives.
Membership Committee: The purpose of the Membership Committee is to develop and recommend strategies for attracting new members, identifying potential membership benefits, and suggesting ways to retain existing members through communication, organizing events, and addressing member needs to strengthen their connection to HHCANY. A strong membership base is critical to the overall success of our organization.
Legislative Committee: This committee will play a vital role in evaluating proposed legislation, recommending policy positions, and prioritizing bills that affect our organization, our businesses, and our profession. HHCANY’s lobbyist will provide you with bill text, sponsors memos, and a brief summary of the provisions of bills that are under consideration in Albany. Committee members will review and comment on the bills and briefly describe why we should support, oppose, or remain neutral on identified legislation.
Conference Committee: Members of this committee are responsible for planning and organizing the association’s annual conference and trade show events. General areas in need of support include developing the conference agenda and programming, which includes speakers and instructors, exhibitor recruitment, helping with registration/check-in, and identifying possible networking events, social activities, and special sessions to enhance participant engagement.
