Program Description
Whether you are a generalist who needs to know tax issues or a certified tax expert, you will not want to miss the 2010 Tax Issues for Healthcare Oranizations program.

There will also be an informal gathering of in-house counsel during lunch on Monday sponsored by the Tax and Finance Practice Group’s Tax In-House Affinity Group.
In response to many requests from our members, AHLA is going green for in-person program. We are trying to reduce the amount of paper we use at our programs. This is both an effort at responsible environmental conservation, and an effort to increase the timeliness of the materials provided to our attendees. We will not automatically be printing binders for everyone. All materials will be available on a website prior to the program and handed out on CD at the program. For those who still do want the binder they will be available for an additional fee; please order on the registration form.
