Dear Auxilians and Volunteers,
Welcome to the 69th NMHA Annual Meeting! It’s always a pleasure for our hospital
leaders to share the venue with Auxilians from around the state. You’ve set up an
excellent program for yourselves and we look forward to our joint session over lunch.
The numbers related to your volunteer service are always amazing. Thousands of
hours of services have generated almost 42 million of income that has funded
equipment, scholarships and educational programs. But your service goes so far
beyond simple numbers. Your presence in the hallways, lobbies and gift shops of our
member hospitals adds the personal face and neighborly touch to which many of our
patients connect.
Your volunteerism generates funds and helps care for patients but it also sends a
powerful community message. By choosing to volunteer your time in your hospital you
are making a statement that the hospital is a high priority for you. Your friends and
family notice.
We enjoy working with your President on the NMHA Board of Directors and have
appreciated Leda’s involvement. We look forward to working with Le Ann Smith in the
coming year. You are well represented by committed leaders.
Have a great conference and I hope to visit with many of you during the meeting
Sincerely,
Jeff Dye, MBA, FACHE, CAE
President and CEO

NMHA AUXILIARY/VOLUNTEER SERVICE
PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013
Welcome to the Annual Meeting for 2013!!
In the beginning. The Planning Committee – Jo Bowman, Donya Conine, Becky Diaz, Brenda
Knisely, Gary Marsjanik, Le Ann Smith and I, met in January. We planned a varied program
with a motivational keynote speaker; interesting, informative, and timely educational
sessions; and fun entertainment, all for you to enjoy. As an addendum this year, we will
have a RAFFLE with homemade items donated by the auxiliaries, and five vendors. Your
suggestions on the evaluation form last year provided us with ideas for the selections.
Thank you.
In the middle. Attending the District Meetings in Clovis, Deming, Gallup, and Raton was a
highlight. The District Chairs did an outstanding job to make this time special for their
attendees; providing interesting speakers, delightful entertainment, delicious food, and
great door prizes. Attendance was excellent and the excitement was like a mini Annual
Meeting. Many thanks to Marilyn Wiseman, District I; Linda Rounds-Nichols, District II; Paula
Johnston, District III; and Joyce Erickson, District IV for their hard work making these
meetings exceptional.
It was a joy to attend many hospital events - Christmas parties, awards luncheons, and it
was an honor to perform installations of new officers. Thank you for the invitations and I'm
sorry I was unable to attend all because of conflicts.
A special thanks to Jeff Dye, NMHA President and CEO, for the opportunity to serve on the
Board of Directors. I learned of, and continue to appreciate, their continued dedication
and diligence to provide the residents of New Mexico with the best health care.
I am especially grateful to my Board and appreciate their devotion and hard work. They
are the BEST and have made my job easier. The culmination of their efforts will be shown
at the Awards Dinner with the presentation of awards.
A very special lady with her immense amount of knowledge and expertise, giving 100%
support is without a doubt, Jo Bowman, our State Liaison. She is really our anchor with her
many organizational skills putting together an exceptional Annual Meeting. Yes, we all work
together, but she is the one who really makes it possible. Kudos to a top-notch lady!
My continued thanks to Gila Regional Medical Center, my home auxiliary, for their continued
support, and especially for their gift of beautiful goody bags for this year's meeting.
The end. It's been a great year. Following are the totals from the Annual Reports received
from the 21 auxiliaries:
Donations contributed:
Total Membership 2,332
Hospital Equipment $355,905
Total Youth Membership 95
Scholarships $419,933
Total Volunteer Hours 358,623
Education $ 31,553
Total Income $1,789,497
Thanks for a wonderful year, and I know you will continue to give in-coming president, Le
Ann Smith, the continued support you have given to me.
Living is the art of loving. Loving is the art of caring. Caring is the art of sharing. Sharing
is the art of living –Anonymous
Keep up the volunteer spirit – let your heart soar!!

PRESIDENT-ELECT ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013
Dear Auxiliary Volunteers,
This has been a wonderful experience serving as your President Elect. Thank you for the
opportunity.
The year began with the Planning Committee Meetings held in January & March. There is a lot
of work put into preparing, beginning with our speaker, education sessions and entertainment.
The goal is to make sure that we bring something of interest to everyone attending. We are
very fortunate to have two State Past Presidents, Becky Diaz and Brenda Knisley, to assist.
Thank you to all other members of the committee for your time spent preparing for our
convention.
The District Workshops were held in April. I attended the ones in Deming, Gallup and Raton.
The meetings were well attended, with warm welcomes, informative speakers, good food and
entertainment. These are very important sessions in that it enables us to meet so many
auxilians on a smaller attendance level.
In late April I went to the State Auxiliary Leaders Conference in Washington, DC. This was held
in conjunction with the American Hospital Association Conference. The speakers were very
motivational and giving an insight on what the future holds not only for our auxiliaries but our
hospitals. The HAVE Awards Breakfast was a highlight honoring those winners in Community
Service, In Service Hospital Volunteers, Fund Raising and Community Outreach. We did have
joint sessions with the AHA, one of those being a luncheon with keynote speaker, Bob Woodruff
of ABC News. At the conclusion of the conference, Jeff Dye invited me to visit the New Mexico
Congressional Members with he and 4 CEO's from New Mexico. The purpose was to share
concerns on various Health Issue Bills that would come before Congress in the next session. I
do appreciate and thank Jeff for the invitation to attend.
I attended the Mid Year Meeting in Albuquerque. It was an opportunity to meet with the Board
of Directors and make decisions that will be of benefit to all members. It was a well attended
meeting.
In August I attended the New Mexico Hospital Association Board Meeting with Leda Evert. I
was a very interesting and informative meeting with concerns and issues effecting health care.
Sponsor notices were sent to all CEO's and Auxiliaries for financial support for our convention.
The response has been very generous.
This year for the first time we invited hospital vendors to display and sell their merchandise at
our convention. I would like to thank those Auxiliaries who provided vendor information. There
will be 5 vendors sharing the room with our raffle items provided by the Auxiliaries. Another first
this year will be our Meet & Greet Reception on Wednesday evening. The reception will be held
in the same room with the vendors and raffle items.
I would like to thank Jo Bowman and Leda Evert for their assistance and encouragement during
the past year. I also would like to thank the MCMC Auxiliary for their encouragement and
support.

PRAYER FOR HOSPITAL AUXILIARIES
Almighty God and Heavenly Father of mankind,
bless we pray Thee,
our endeavors in these hospitals
in which we strive to bring comfort and hope
to all who are in distress of mind or body.
Guide us so that we may use the privilege given
us to help the aged, the ill, and the very young—
with generosity, with discretion and with gentleness.
Give us the strength to labor diligently,
the courage to think and to speak with clarity
and conviction but without prejudice or pride.
Grant us, we beseech Thee,
both wisdom and humility in directing
our united efforts to do for others
only as Thou would have us do.
Amen.
AUXILIARY PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we come before you to be renewed and strengthened for the work set before us as
hospital Auxilians and care givers.
Keep us mindful of our role and duty to you and the patients and families we serve. Open our hearts and
eyes so we may be a reflection of the gentleness and beauty of our Southwest in all we endeavor to
accomplish.
In each encounter, allow our presence to radiate the warmth of the desert and the sunshine; the strength
and majesty of the mountains; and sharing of the bounties of the waters that vitalize our land.
We thank you for this opportunity which brings us together to share and celebrate the joys and rewards of
volunteering.
Bless these Auxilians and the institutions in which they serve.
Amen.
Submitted by a special committee from Lovelace Foundation Auxiliary:
Will Taylor, Auxilian
O.J. Davis, Chaplain
Pam Dickerhoof, Director, Volunteer Services
*It is suggested the above Auxiliary prayers be used by the State Auxiliary at state functions and
district workshops.

THE INSIGNIA
(Adopted in 1958)
The insignia of the American Hospital Association, worn on the left shoulder of the auxiliary
jacket/smock sleeve or left side of cobbler (received usually after serving one hundred hours) embraces
and combines many things.
Quarterly, we have the Lorraine Cross, an emblem of relief to the unfortunate since medieval times. The
caduceus, or the Want of Mercy and Serpent of Aesculapius (The Roman God of Medicine) has
symbolized the healing art of thousands of years. The Maltese Cross has been the emblem of the Knights
of Saint John of Jerusalem since A.D. 1082, and for several hundred years has also been used by the St.
John Ambulance Service. The international emblem for the relief of sick and wounded is the Geneva or
Greek Cross. The Urn Lamp is universally accepted as symbolic of knowledge, and is the official
emblem of the Florence Nightingale Nurses. The American Eagle symbolizes the United States of
America; the Maple Leaves, the Dominion of Canada; and the whole is supported by the classic Latin
motto “Nisi Dominus Frustra”—Without God We Can Do Nothing.
UNIFORMS
Appropriate uniforms will be determined by the local auxiliary/volunteer service.
-7-
STATE PINS
In 2004 the State Auxiliary / Volunteer Service adopted an official state pin. The pin is
shown below in both an enlarged view and actual size (7/8” width). The Zia symbol is in raised
polished gold and red enamel. The State of New Mexico is in raised polished gold and yellow
enamel on a recessed sandblast finish gold background. “AUXILIARY VOLUNTEER
SERVICE” is displayed in raised polished gold lettering on a reflex blue enamel border.
“NMHA” is incised reflex blue lettering on a raised polished gold border. Bottom loops are
included to hold reflex blue year charms.
Pin and year charm distribution information is included in the State Auxiliary / Volunteer
Service Policies & Procedures.
*State Pin updated in 2008, when NMHHSA changed their name to NMHA

HISTORY OF THE STATE AUXILIARY/VOLUNTEER SERVICE
In 1948, in St. Louis, the American Hospital Association formally called the Women’s Hospital
Auxiliaries began.
A system of “counselors” for each state was formed with these people being approved by the President of
American Hospital Association, on recommendation of the State Association. By 1957, the AHA felt
each state was strong enough to develop their own programs and the “counselors” were discontinued.
The committee of hospital auxiliaries became the Council of Hospital Auxiliaries.
In 1952, Elizabeth (Rood) Neher of Albuquerque was told by the NMHA (now the NMHHSA) Executive
Board that they would like the auxiliaries to meet in conjunction with their annual meeting. Auxiliaries
represented at the first meeting included: Farmington, Las Cruces, Los Alamos, Santa Fe, two from Las
Vegas and three from Albuquerque. Representatives from New Mexico auxiliaries met with Mrs. Lee
Tollefson, a member of the Committee of Women’s Hospital Auxiliaries of the AHA, to gain the formal
direction needed to form the State Auxiliary. It should also be noted that Elizabeth served on the AHA
Council for Hospital Auxiliaries.
New auxiliaries added to the roster of the state in 1954-55 were Artesia General, Lea Regional, and Holy
Cross Hospital of Taos, which was the first organized auxiliary in our state, having been founded in 1937.
In 1955, the auxiliaries in Roswell were added to the roster. Carlsbad added two auxiliaries (Carlsbad
Memorial and St. Francis Xavier) in 1956 and Lincoln County Memorial Hospital in Carrizozo, Clovis
Memorial Hospital and Espanola Hospital brought the total to 19.
In 1958, the changeover from the Counselor Committee was completed and Mrs. Frank Claffey from St.
Vincent was the first Chairman. Also during this year, a constitution was presented and accepted, dues
were inaugurated (.25/auxiliary), and the official AHA Auxiliary uniform and emblem were adopted.
In 1957, Mimbres Memorial Hospital joined the group, followed in 1959 by Gerald Champion Hospital
and Cibola General. Other 1959 milestones included incorporation as a non-profit organization in the
State of New Mexico and tax exemption from the Bureau of Revenue.
In addition to the state group in 1960 was Socorro Hospital, and 1961 brought new members from
Lovington, Eunice, Jal, Truth or Consequences, Santa Rosa, and Tucumcari. In 1963, the number of
auxiliaries belonging to State jumped to 30 with the addition of Roosevelt General Hospital in Portales
and, during Elisabeth Gray’s term of office, the State was divided into four districts.
The dissolution of the corporation of the Auxiliary to the NMHHSA took place September 10, 1963,
when the Auxiliary reverted to a committee of the hospital association. The approval of this change was
given by the general membership and the NMHHSA Board at the eleventh annual convention in October
1963.
The 1979 term of Myron Hallmark began with 29 auxiliaries reporting a total membership of 3,241. Jal
Lea General, having resigned from state some years before, and McKinley General Hospital were added.
During the 1984-85 term of Katie Woodward the voluntary assessment of member hospitals with
auxiliaries, which is used to subsidize the State Auxiliary Budget, became permanent and ongoing.
Betty Merritt’s term in 1986 saw the first strategic plan for the Auxiliary. The committee consisted of the
State Auxiliary Board Members and NMHHSA staff.
Mary Lou Meyers led the 1987-1988 year, focusing on education as a top priority for volunteers while
Arlene High, the next president, developed a state handbook. This year also saw the beginning of the
Youth Volunteer Program.
-14-
The creation of the Honor Roll Award and the shifting of nominating responsibilities to District
Chairman, as well as the inception of the Salute to Excellence Award, made the 1989-1990 term another
year of progress.
Peggy Rueb was president the following year. For the first time we joined New Mexico Hospital
Association (NMHSSA) at their mid-year program.
During her term, Nada Baulch played an important role in the assembling of the 40th Anniversary
Memorial Booklet.
We celebrated the return of Miners’ Colfax Hospital Auxiliary, bringing the total number of hospital
auxiliaries to 28 in 1993. The position of Historian was added to the State Board that year. It was
necessary in 1995 to raise state dues from $1.50 to $2.00.
Led by Elizabeth Jaramillo-Dalton 1995-96, the State Auxiliary saw a year with the consolidation of
positions on the Board and went on to the elimination of the under-utilized Legislative Chair and midyear meetings on alternate years.
During Anne Haynes’1997-98 term, a new term was coined, that of adjunct member. This was a result of
Presbyterian Hospitals’ auxiliaries becoming a volunteer service organization. A donation of five
hundred dollars and participation in most events, with the exception of holding voting privileges and
eligibility for awards, preserved a vital link between auxilian and volunteer.
The year 1998-1999 brought many changes and issues to the State Auxiliary. There has been a move in
our society for volunteerism without the requirement to belong to an organized dues-paying unit.
Presbyterian Health Services recognized this trend and attempted to work within these confines. They
accepted volunteers without being a member of an auxiliary organization, and paid a donation rather than
dues for the volunteers. This procedure did not allow the volunteers to vote, participate in the awards
program or to hold office in the auxiliary organization. The State Auxiliary of the New Mexico Hospitals
& Health Systems Association (NMHHSA) set about changing bylaws and procedures to facilitate those
wishing to volunteer without becoming a “member” of an auxiliary organization – a change that resulted
in an alliance between 12uxilians and volunteers. In the re-designated State Auxiliary/Volunteer Services
to the NMHHSA, Presbyterian Health Services again became a part of the NMHHSA State Auxiliary.
The service organization is required to pay dues of $2 per member that entitles them to all benefits, i.e.
vote, participate in awards, and hold office. This major change was approved by the Board of Directors
of NMHHSA, the Auxiliary Board and the membership of the State Auxiliary.
In 1998-1999 the State Auxiliary lost Hobbs and Tucumcari.
As we ended 1999, the last year of the century, the State Auxiliary was facing new issues. The greatest
one of these was the forming of an alliance between the Auxilians and the Volunteers. This change was
discussed at length with Nancy Brown (the American Hospital Association Auxiliary/Volunteer
Assistant), was approved by the NMHHSA Board of Directors, the Auxiliary Board of Directors and the
membership of the State Auxiliary. The NMHHSA State Auxiliary officially changed their name to the
NMHHSA Auxiliary/Volunteer Services Association.
During Kay Moore’s 1999-2000 term, a new membership category was introduced, Independent
Membership. Carlsbad left the state organization; leaving 22 Active, 1 Provisional and 1 Independent
NMHHSA Auxiliary/Volunteer Services memberships. This marked the beginning of the new
millennium and the beginning of a new century for the NMHHSA Auxiliary/Volunteer Services.
During the 2000-01 term of Carol Searcy, the Bylaws and Policies & Procedures were critiqued. The
Handbook was supplied to each of the Auxiliary/Volunteer members of the NMHHSA
Auxiliary/Volunteer Services with yearly updates to follow. Santa Fe voted to remove themselves from
the state membership. Portales dedicated their new hospital facility (Roosevelt General Hospital) with
plans of trading their Provisional Membership for an Active Membership. As we began the new
millennium we were looking forward to further expansion of the State organization.
-15-
Marilyn Hathaway’s 2001-02 term saw the continuation of change statewide. Los Alamos Hospital was
sold to the “For-Profit” Province Corp. and the sales of the currently For-Profit Lovelace Health Systems
and the Not-For-Profit St. Joseph Healthcare Systems to the For-Profit Ardent Corporation is pending.
St. Joseph’s Auxiliaries voted to disassociate from the State Auxiliary/Volunteer Services while Los
Alamos and Lovelace Auxiliaries remain strong volunteer groups. We welcomed the return of Roosevelt
General Hospital Auxiliary, Portales, to the State. We are currently at 20 auxiliary/volunteer services
members. At the request of several member organizations and in recognition of the changing direction of
Auxiliaries, the State will no longer designate or dictate the wearing of a singular “official” State
volunteer uniform. We have also worked closely with the AHA Committee on Volunteers on several
National projects, including the first annual National Healthcare Volunteer Day in April.
2002-2003 was led by Luella Kramer. St. Vincent and Sandia Health Systems (formerly St. Joseph)
rejoined the state and increased our membership by over 400. During the Summer 2003 Board of
Directors’ meeting, minor language and clarification changes were made to the bylaws and
policy/procedures handbook.
During Carol Searcy’s 2003-2004 term, she accomplished two enhancements for the future of NMHHSA
Auxiliary/Volunteer Services: the Membership Lists and the State Pin. The Membership List will assist
in future goals and awards for the NMHHSA A/VS; the State Pin which will be worn as a symbol of pride
as a member of the NMHHSA Auxiliary/Volunteer Service.
National awards, loss of Portales Auxiliary, redistricting, and increase of funding were highlights in 20042005. Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services in Gallup was awarded the American Hospital
Association’s Hospital Award for Volunteer Excellence (HAVE). Due to declining membership, the
Roosevelt General Hospital Auxiliary in Portales decided to discontinue their state membership. It is
hoped that they will be able to rejoin the State soon. The NMHHSA Board of Directors voted to increase
the hospital assessments from $150 to $250, effective in 2006. In an effort to have the districts more
evenly member-balanced, the State Board move Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in
Alamogordo from District 4 to District 3. It is especially appropriate to highlight the fundraising success
of President-Elect Brenda Knisely. In 2004, Rebecca Diaz was responsible for raising $3800 for annual
meeting sponsorship; and, in 2005, Brenda was successful in raising over $10,000. Sponsorship dollars
have allowed the State Auxiliary/Volunteer Service to keep registration fees at a minimal; in addition,
funds were available to bring educational sessions and speakers to the annual event.
During the 2005-2006 term of Brenda Knisely, Past State President Marilyn Hathaway, who did the
original histories of the State Auxiliary/Volunteer Service, again updated the histories for the years 2000
through 2006. The histories were published in book form and distributed to each Auxiliary/Volunteer
Service.
Auxilians from Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis, who left the State Auxiliary/Volunteer Service
after the 2005 Annual Meeting but retained personal memberships in 2006, are working to regain their
membership in the State organization. Carlsbad Medical Center Auxilians rejoined the State organization
in 2006. The following auxiliaries were also contacted during this year’s membership drive: Artesia
General Hospital, Cibola General Hospital, HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital, Lea Regional Medical
Center, MountainView Medical Center, Dr. Dan C. Trigg Memorial Hospital, and Union County General
Hospital.
For the first time changes were made to the format of the Annual Meeting. The Voting Body Meeting
was held separate from the General Meeting. To accommodate this change, two registrations were held.
A reception was held to honor the Past State Presidents. At the evening dinner, the Awards and
Recognitions were presented.
Jim Peters served as our President during the 2006-2007 year. Membership continues to grow as we
passed the 2400 milestone. Plains Regional Medical Center Auxiliary rejoined the State and attended the
Annual Meeting. The reception at the Annual Meeting honored those individuals who have given 55 or
-16-
more years of service. That list consists of Alnita Baker (Alta Vista Regional Hospital, Las Vegas) and
Elisabeth Gray (Los Alamos Medical Center, Los Alamos). Also honored were the local organizations
that have provided 55 or more years of service. This group includes: Alta Vista Regional Hospital – Las
Vegas, Espanola Hospital – Espanola, Los Alamos Medical Center – Los Alamos, Love Medical Center –
Albuquerque, Memorial Medical Center – Las Cruces, Presbyterian Healthcare Services -Albuquerque,
San Juan Regional Medical Center -Farmington, Holy Cross Hospital – Taos, and St. Vincent Regional
Medical Center – Santa Fe. Minor changes were approved to the organization’s bylaws and were
primarily grammatical or clarifying in nature. The organization’s name was changed to the New Mexico
Hospital Association Auxiliary/Volunteer Service, in order to be consistent with the New Mexico
Hospital Association (NMHA). Our President-Elect, Betty Pfeiffer, collected $12,300 in sponsorship for
the 2007 NMHA Auxiliary/Volunteer Service Annual Meeting. These funds continue to help hold the
member costs for the meeting to an absolute minimum.
Betty Pfeifer, Memorial Medical Center Auxiliary in Las Cruces, New Mexico served as President during
2007-2008. With the addition of Nor-Lea General Hospital Auxiliary in Lovington (38 members) and
with the twelve (12) Personal Memberships from Trigg Memorial Hospital Auxiliary in Tucumcari, the
State Auxiliary continues to maintain a healthy membership in spite of a declining trend in volunteer
work nationwide. After a survey of 21 groups in the organization, it was determined that there is still an
interest in continuing competitions for Scrapbook, Salute to Excellence, and the Newsletter. Minor
changes to the Policies and Procedures were made to encourage more participation in the competitive
areas. A Bylaws change was made to appoint the four (4) district chairpersons as opposed to election
with the host auxiliary/volunteer service for the annual district workshops submitting the name of a
nominee to the President-Elect for an appointment. A web site for the State Auxiliary was initiated and is
ongoing. The year brought sadness to the State Auxiliary with the loss of two Past State Auxiliary
Presidents – Gladys Reed and Sue Gross of Los Alamos Medical Center passed away in December 2007.
Anne Felton, Sierra Vista Hospital – Truth or Consequences, served as President during 2008-2009.
Beginning January 1, 2009 the mileage reimbursement for Auxiliary Board members was increased from
$.40 to $.50 per mile. In mid-April the NMHA Auxiliary/Volunteer Services, along with NMHA, moved
to a much larger office building at 7471 Pan American Freeway NE, Albuquerque. The NMHA
Auxiliary/Volunteer Service web page is up and running with many helpful and useful links. A decision
was made to reinvest some of the reserve money by in a certificate of deposit and leave the remaining to
cover unexpected expenses. A bylaws clarification was made to make it easier to get District Chairs by
having Auxiliary Presidents in each district suggest names to the President-Elect, eliminating this
responsibility by the Nominating Committee. Sadly, Nor-Lea General Hospital in Lovington has
withdrawn from the State Auxiliary. For the first time, we had the privilege of having Mary McCormack,
on behalf of the American Hospital Association, address our General Assembly at Annual Meeting.
Linda Rounds-Nichols, Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services – Gallup, served as President
during 2009-2010. Linda visited each local auxiliary/volunteer service group, as well as making a visit to
Tucumcari to meet with the Personal Members. The bylaws were changed to further reflect the practice
of the appointment versus election of the district chairs, and some changes were made in the policies so
they would coincide with the bylaws. The Board voted to follow-up on the decision of Anne Felton’s
board, and invested $25,000 in a Schwab One Organization Account, invested in the Vanguard ShortTerm Treasury fund.
One of the highlights of 2012 annual meeting was that it included vendors. This was the second year to
have vendors; however, there were only 2 in the previous year. Vendors and sponsors have allowed the
State Auxiliary to provide keynotes and education presenters to the membership as well as keep the
registration fee under $100 per registrant. In 2012, the Las Vegas Auxiliary changed their name with the
-17-
State Corporation Commission, Attorney General’s Office and State of New Mexico Taxation & Revenue
Department to “Auxiliary for Alta Vista Regional Hospital.” An update to the history information was
submitted by Gila Regional Medical Center: “The Hillcrest Hospital Auxiliary joined the New Mexico
Hospital Association in 1970, with 69 active members. There were 10 executive board members with
Mollie Cerney serving as president. The first time Silver City Auxilians attended the NMHA State
Convention in Albuquerque was on October 28, 1970 with 8 attendees.”
Leda Evert, Gila Regional Medical, Silver City served as president during 2012-13. There were a number
of changes throughout the year. The registration fee to attend the annual meeting was increased to $100
from the previous $90 to help defray the rising costs of the meeting; i.e., speaker fees, A/V rental, food,
etc. For the very first time, registration was done online and was very successful. The job description for
the Newsletter Chairman was updated as well as the guidelines for the state newsletter. A new set of
guidelines for the scrapbook contact was approved. The form for submitting names of deceased
Auxilians for the memorials changed to allow for all the names to be submitted electronically and on the
same form. At the annual meeting, there was a first time RAFFLE with beautiful homemade items
donated by the auxiliaries. This was a very successful endeavor and all proceeds went to the NMHA
Auxiliary/Volunteer Service. There were five vendors selling products onsite…another addition that was
a huge success. The biggest challenge in 2013 was regarding future District II workshops. District II
members were not able to commit to a workshop in 2014. The Board approved that District II schedule
workshops every other year, on a rotating basis. There will be a District II chair that will coordinate with
other districts for District II members to attend their meetings and will also serve as contact person for
District II news/information distribution, as needed. Peggy Easterling, San Juan Regional Medical Center
Auxiliary – Farmington, stepped up to the plate to serve as the first District II Liaison.

GUIDELINES for CONDUCTING a DISTRICT WORKSHOP
1. Set the date of your workshop after making certain it does not conflict with other District Workshops. The workshop
shall be scheduled between April 1 and May 15 because members of the State Nominating Committee often travel to
District Workshops to locate nominees for the next year’s slate of officers.
2. It is extremely helpful and convenient for the State President, President-Elect and Immediate Past President in making
travel plans if the two northern District Workshops are held a day apart and the same for the two southern District
Workshops.
3. Determine the location for (i.e. hospital, hotel, lodge). When scheduling at a hotel, check to see if your meeting room
charge can be waived if you schedule a luncheon, or if other meal function is scheduled.
4. Contact and book your speakers well in advance so you will not have scheduling problems. If you need assistance
locating speakers, contact the NMHA Liaison.
5. Base your registration fee on the price of your meals, speakers’ fees, audio/visual and rental, etc. so as to “break even”
financially. Any overages or shortages will be absorbed by the host auxiliary/volunteer service. No refunds will be
made for the Registration Fees after the deadline for the workshop.
6. Send registration forms, along with map, to all of the auxiliaries/volunteer services, to include DVS’, in the respective
district. Invitations to all district meetings will be extended to the State President, President-Elect, and Immediate
Past President for which they will be reimbursed for attendance. Courtesy invitations without reimbursement will be
extended to Secretary, Treasurer, NMHA Liaison, and District Chairmen outside the respective district.
7. Have your workshop room set-up according to types of presentations you will have. Types of set-ups are:
Rounds:
Round tables of 8 or 10; usually used for meal meetings.
Classroom:
Chairs behind tables, allowing writing surface.
Theater:
Chairs in straight line (no tables).
Conference:
One long table with chairs on each side.
Crescent Rounds: Round tables of 6, allows for speaker and meal meetings
8. Advise the State President of program and arrange time for the State President and Immediate Past President to
address the workshop.
9. The Chairman is responsible for the evaluation form for the workshop. The evaluation form summary of current
year’s workshop should be given to the next year’s District Chairman.
10. It is suggested that the Auxiliary prayers on page 6 be used by the State Auxiliary at state functions and District
Workshops..

which a professional organization has the leeway to add/enhance artwork and pictures or to write or modify the text

considered to be “in-house.”

SALUTE TO EXCELLENCE / YOUTH VOLUNTEER CHAIRMAN
Salute to Excellence
This award, which was instituted in 1990, is an acknowledgment of innovative programs which benefit local hospitals. It
gives Auxiliaries/Volunteer Services the opportunity to learn about programs which might be adapted to any hospital and
also gives auxiliaries/volunteer services the opportunity to be recognized by their peers for “outstanding achievement”
which is the highest honor that can be bestowed in this category. This award is based on self-nomination.
The Salute to Excellence Chairman mails out letters listing all the criteria for the award, including deadlines to all
Auxiliary Presidents/Volunteer Service Chairmen and Directors of Volunteer Services (DVS) by April 1, explaining the
program and urging them to give thought to entering a program/project implemented in their hospital. A follow-up note
to the presidents/chairmen may be prudent if response is slow in coming.
The chairman shall appoint a panel of three judges from within the auxiliaries/volunteer services or of qualified people in
the community for the purpose of selecting the award recipients. Two awards shall be given. One each for hospitals of
100 or less beds and hospitals of 101 or more beds.
The selections shall be made three weeks prior to the Annual Meeting. The Salute to Excellence Chairman shall notify
the State President and the NMHA Liaison of the selections. Certificates of merit shall be printed by the NMHA Liaison
and presented by the Salute to Excellence Chairman at the Annual Meeting.
The local auxiliary/volunteer service is encouraged to nominate their program/project for the Hospital Award of Volunteer
