The Linda Kloss Honorary Endowed Scholarship

Honoring Linda L. Kloss, RHIA, CAE, FAHIMA

This endowed scholarship will recognize Linda Kloss's leadership of AHIMA over the past fifteen years, during which time the organization’s membership, revenues and national influence have all experienced substantial growth. We are inviting all members and supporters to join us in honoring Linda’s dedicated service to AHIMA and the Foundation. Linda’s sterling career extends well beyond her role as CEO of AHIMA. Before joining the AHIMA staff, Linda served as a senior manager for Massachusetts-based MediQual Systems, Inc. and for Chicago-based InterQual, Inc. Linda served on the AHIMA Board of Directors from 1980 to 1986 and was president in 1985.

Linda has often expressed her wish for enhancing the endowment support of the Foundation -- truly building the legacy to sustain the future of the health information management profession that she holds so dear. Throughout her career, Linda has demonstrated the leadership and vision that have helped shape the HIM profession itself.

Our initial goal was to raise a minimum of $25,000 to establish the endowed scholarship in Linda’s honor, although funds above and beyond that will only serve to enhance her legacy with AHIMA and provide even more opportunities for students. By expanding the scholarship program -- especially through endowments, the Foundation will be in a stronger position to award more scholarships to worthy students at all degree levels: Associate, Bachelor’s, and Master’s programs.

To contribute to this scholarship, fill out this special donation form and return it to Susan Jordan at the AHIMA Foundation. We are extremely grateful for your support of the Foundation through this tribute to Linda.
