AAHPM Spring Quarterly : Page 17

SPRING 2012 17 $2,455,125 continued development of a hospice medical director cer-tification program and a comprehensive leadership devel-opment program—both with anticipated launches in 2013. In 2008 the board approved a plan to formally invest a portion of the Academy’s fund balance in more than just interest-bearing accounts. After careful consideration and consultation from professional investment advisors, AAHPM began slowly investing a portion of its fund balance (using a conservative investment strategy) in early 2009. Since that time, the investment portfolio has benefited from the market recovery and performed above most major indices ( Figure 2 ). This is more good news for our growing organization. The fund balance and our investments continue to be managed with the assistance of our independent financial advisors, The Foster Group. Despite a few twists and turns related to a volatile mar-ket and underperforming programs, AAHPM remains in a sound financial position and poised for future suc-cess guided by a bold new strategic plan. It is an honor and privilege to serve as your teasurer. I look forward to reporting positive results following a successful and profitable 2012. Figure 2.
