Professional Organizations
THA is closely associated with a number of professional healthcare organizations that primarily are
organized to benefit the professional interests of their personal members.
These organizations are recognized by the association for their contributions in the
areas of professional education, research and standards for their members and for their
contribution to the achievement of THA's goals and objectives.
Two types of personal member organizations are recognized by THA for membership
purposes: allied and affiliate professional organizations.
Services available to all allied and affiliate organizations include:
- Meeting Rooms
Small meeting rooms are available for use by allied and affiliate organizations. A nominal fee is
charged for workshops. There is no charge for business meetings or board meetings. To
assure availability, early reservations are recommended and arrangements must be made
directly with the education department.
- Joint Annual Meeting
Affiliate and allied organizations jointly may meet with the association during its annual
meeting with approval from the THA board of directors. Organizations meeting in conjunction with
the annual meeting are encouraged to help sell exhibit space at the Technical and
Educational Exposition.
THA services available only to affiliate organizations include:
- Joint Membership
Members of affiliate organizations automatically
become personal members of the association. Members of the allied
organizations may become personal members by paying personal membership dues.
- Membership Representation
Personal members are eligible to be appointed to THA councils and committees.
- Membership List
Upon two weeks notice, THA annually will provide affiliate organizations with two complimentary membership
lists or sets of mailing labels. Other copies will be provided at a minimal cost.
- Financial Records
THA will collect dues and maintain financial accounts for affiliate organizations' funds.
The association also will furnish monthly financial statements, disperse funds and make
payments upon written authorization of the affiliate group president or designee.
- Other Services
Affiliate organizations may request other services as needed. A fee will be charged to
cover the cost of providing these services.
