  1. ASPR Update
Debbie Gleason is the President – Elect of ASPR for instatement 2013. This is very exciting for us, since she is a member of MINK.
The national ASPR meeting had record attendance this year. Comments from the group were that the speakers were exceptional. Next years ASPR Conference is in Los Angeles.
FSRP Certification, 101 Associate/201 Diplomate / 301 Fellow, were available at the conference and are available on line.
Benchmarking Survey – ASPR has partnered with Industry Insights and is now open for viewing. The technology is notably superior and user friendly.
ASPR Webinars – everyone is encouraged to access the online webinars presented by ASPR.
Members from non-hospital recruiters – A point for consideration when “other” recruiters wish to join MINK is to keep in mind that those individuals may not qualify for ASPR membership.
Everyone is encouraged to become a member of ASPR. Benefits include discounts with vendors, free webinars, and discounts at the ASPR conferences.
Lori Pinkerton brought up the discussion that MINK could find a way to support members’ attendance at ASPR. Tonya Pehle motioned & Debbie Gleason 2nd, that MINK pay full scholarship for Mink president and one member to attend ASPR Conference starting in 2012.
Additionally, Janet Pehle motioned/Angela Winterbower 2nd, that the MINK Educational Conference fee for 4 members of the Executive Committee and 6 Committee Chairs be paid by MINK for future conferences.
  1. ASPR and Regional Groups Relationships
Dennis Burns joined our meeting by phone to discuss the opportunity for MINK to become a Chapter of ASPR. Currently the only Chapter Group is AIR
A handout was provided that lists the guidelines and benefits of becoming a Chapter Group. A primary requirement is that 10% of the group be ASPR members. Currently our group has over 90% membership. MINK would be required to submit an annual report to ASPR. MINK may be required to become a 501C6. MINK is currently a 501C3.
A benefit will be that out meeting could be coordinated with the ASPR annual meeting. MINK dues and registration would be facilitated by ASPR.
ASPR is looking at other incentives. They will discuss at their October 2011 meeting.
Dennis and Debbie confirmed that it is not a goal of ASPR that the Regional Groups become Chapters.
It would not cost to become a Chapter.
We would not be able to lobby.
There are currently financial benefits to being a Chapter, which include Registration and membership dues coordinated by ASPR, ability to have a meeting at the annual ASPR meeting, and to utilize consulting company services through ASPR for marketing purposes.
