Louise,
Our chapter has a wide variety of things to offer, but we're lucky in that we have a very active chapter too. we have our members do alot of our presentations. We also have physicians come in and guest speak as well as nurse practitioners and such. Its nice when they do this as a "co-presenter" and team up with a coder to address coding specifics as they discuss the clinical aspects. We also look to other health care agencies that would like to come and discuss specific reimbursement issues, such as pain management (pumps and such).
We also offer some of the audio conferences put on by AAPC.
We have panel discussions sometimes too - more so on general topics such as compliance and audit.
we have fun things scheduled like banquets, we honor our state coders day, and try to have door prizes at each meeting. Those can be coding books or other fun give aways too if you are lucky enough to find a meeting "sponsor". Hope these are helpful ideas for you - good luck.
