Board of Directors

Current Board of Directors

The Board governs both the Canadian College of Health Information Management (CCHIM) and the Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA)

Board members from diverse backgrounds across the country, including health information, finance, technology, and various other sectors. It brings a wealth of experiences and skills. This diversity fosters a comprehensive strategy for the profession, facilitating effective decision-making, guidance, and risk management for the Organization.

The Board’s structure is designed to prioritize the health information profession and ensure the Organization’s long- term sustainability. It consists of three standing committees: the Finance, Audit, and Human Resources Committee, the Governance Committee, and the Committee of the College.

Each committee plays a vital role in enabling the Board to fulfill its responsibilities. Board members with expertise and interest in specialized areas oversee the Organization’s operations.
