The American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) chose Lori Hendrix, CPC, CPC-H, CIRCC, CPC-I as the 2009 Networker of the Year.

According to the February 15th edition of For the Record Magazine, AAPC’s Networker of the Year Award recognizes an AAPC member “who represents the higher standards of coding set by the organization and who shares the benefits of being a member with fellow coders.”

Hendrix responded to AAPC’s recent membership drive, Drive to 100K, and started referring colleagues to become active AAPC members. As a result of her hard work, she was named Networker of the Year for the second time (her first was in 2003).
