Chapter Leader Resource Center

This page provides chapter leaders with tools and resources to help manage and grow local chapters. Through the Affiliation Program and the Chapter Recognition Program, various marketing tools and administrative guidance with the AHA Chapter Toolkit, the Chapter Resource Center gives you the tools to help your chapter excel.

The AHRMM Chapter Relations Committee and AHRMM staff will be working to develop additional content for your use. If you have a specific request for information or are interested in learning how other chapters have handled a specific issue, please contact member engagement specialist, Kimberly Green at kgreen2@aha.org.

AHRMM Social Media Toolkit

• Use a weekly social media toolkit with LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram posts and images to promote AHRMM education, events, advocacy efforts and resources to Chapter members on your personal social media channels. We will be updating posts each Monday, so that you can help promote both new and existing initiatives and newly released education as it becomes available. Evergreen posts are included at the bottom of the weekly toolkit, so that you only need to check one document each week for both time-sensitive and evergreen content.
