Message from the President
Dear ACHE/SFHEF Members & Colleagues:
I had the privilege recently of serving on an ACHE Webinar Panel discussion on the topic of Secrets of Successful Chapters. Our chapter was selected as a result of achieving sustainability awards for the past several years. Also participating was the President of the Southern California Chapter of over 1,000 members and the President of the East Texas Chapter , a small one of slightly over 100 members. I discussed our deep involvement with local universities and our Student Case competition as well as chapter school visits, scholarships, study group and frequent quality newsletters. I also learned of some new ideas from the other presenting chapter leaders and will be presenting some of them to Board for discussion. The feedback we received from webinar participants was that it was an excellent event and I was proud to be able to represent and speak about our chapter’s many accomplishments.
We had a successful networking event at Balan’s in Miami this past month and our next educational event will be May 17, 2012 at Kendall Regional Medical Center. The topic will be Physician Relations and will be a panel presentation approved for ACHE face to face credits. I look forward to seeing you there.
