Justification Toolkit

AHRMM24 Conference 
September 22 - 25 | Columbus

AHRMM24 is the leading event for the health care supply chain community, where you can connect with your peers from across the country, discover the latest leading practices, and learn how other organizations are tackling the same challenges that your organization faces with innovative approaches. But how do you convey the value of AHRMM24 to your supervisor in order to secure funds for your attendance? Below are some easy-to-use tools and tips that may help you calculate the investment and identify your professional and financial return on investment.

Plan Early

• Not a member? Join AHRMM and register for the conference and save with the non-member rate.
• Planning early will help you secure lower airfares and a discounted room rate.

Communicate with Your Employer

• Customize and send a justification letter to your employer explaining all of the benefits you'll get from attending the AHRMM24 Conference and how they will improve your performance and help advance your organization.
• If you are working to obtain or maintain your CMRP designation, remind your supervisor that this is a great way to earn CECs and is less expensive than registering for separate conferences that offer fewer hours. It also requires less time away from the office.
• Be ready with a plan that identifies who will handle your responsibilities while you are attending the conference. Ensure your employer that current technology will allow you to be accessible during your time away from the office.
• Offer to deliver a short presentation or written report for your colleagues to share what you've learned and multiply the benefits of attendance.

Justify Your Attendance

The editable justification worksheet and letter template allows you to explain to your employer all of the benefits you'll get from attending the Exchange24 Summit, and how those benefits will improve your performance and help advance your organization. This includes:

• Two worksheets to help compile key data points and information to include in an attendance justification letter to your supervisor.
• Attendance costs section to help develop an estimated total cost for attending.
• Customizable justification letter template.
