Not-So-Silent Auction

2009 Annual Not-So-Silent Auction

Held annually at AHIMA's Convention, the FORE Not-So-Silent Auction is a great opportunity to show off your company, state, CoP or community. Over 4,000 attendees, exhibitors, and guests visit the auction - placing their bids and upping the ante to take home a fabulous item!

Donating to the Not-So-Silent Auction is a great way to promote your organization —with opportunity to include your logo and booth number on the bid sheet —it’s also a great way to support the profession. Proceeds from the Auction directly support the Foundation of Research and Education (FORE) Merit scholarship program. This growing program rewards academic excellence by supporting undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in health information management.
