Small Division CM Provider Reimbursement Program

Small divisions often spenda significant portion of their annual budgets on leadership travel and conference activities, leaving little left to assist with educational programming. This program is designed to assistthese divisions by providing up to $95 per year to each small division in order to encourage the creation of CM approved programs (in person or online).

Definition of Small Division

For the purposes of this CM Provider Reimbursement program, a division is considered “small” if it has 300 members or less during the fiscal year.

Division Responsibility

The division must develop at least one CM-approved program during the fiscal year for which funding was provided. The program can be in the form of an in-person workshop/seminar (does not include national conference sessions) or an online webinar (either free or paid).

Eligibility for Funding

The division must meet fourrequirements in order to be eligible for funding:

  • Must have 300 or less members during the past fiscal year to apply. Member counts will be based on division membership as of12/31, 3/31, 6/30, and 9/30.
  • Be in good standing for current fiscal year, and,
  • The division’s most recent performance evaluation must indicate that it “Meets All Criteria” based on the approved Division Performance Criteria.

CM-Approved Program Division Requirements
