FAMI Section
WELCOME
Welcome to the North Carolina Public Health Association (NCPHA) and the FAMI section. FAMI is short for Finance, Administration, Management Support, and Information Technology. The purpose of the FAMI Section of the NCPHA is to provide an opportunity to network with others throughout the state who are involved with financial reporting, budgeting, computer programming and technology, supervision, clerical support, billing, and all other aspects of administrative support.
My name is Monica Short-Owens your 2022-2023 section chair. I welcome the opportunity for questions, comments, or ideas you may have to make the FAMI Section better. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the leadership team.
HOW TO JOIN
While we welcome everyone with open arms and warm smiles, our section aims for members that typically work in the financial, administrative, management support, or information technology fields. Section dues are $5 and can be paid when you join or renew your membership with NCPHA here. I challenge every county or district for at least one person to join the FAMI section
