MGMA’s Member Resource Groups were launched as a commitment to facilitating inclusion and belonging within the healthcare management profession. These groups quickly became a valuable part of the MGMA community, providing safe, supportive environments where members could engage in meaningful conversations about career growth, professional challenges and industry leadership with their peers. Based on the overwhelming success of in-person resource groups at the 2023 and 2024 Leaders Conferences, MGMA expanded these efforts to include quarterly virtual meetings, ensuring that members could maintain and build these connections year-round.
