FROM OUR REGENT
Message from Our ACHE-NJ Regent
Fall 2025
​
Dear ACHE Colleagues,
​
As the American College of Healthcare Executives - New Jersey chapter (ACHE-NJ) hosts its annual fall events, members should expect excellent opportunities for professional networking and recognition.
​
I am proud to share the 2025 ACHE Regent Awards, New Jersey – Northern were very well subscribed this year, and five worthy honorees will be recognized at the ACHE-NJ Annual Meeting on December 4, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency, New Brunswick, NJ. The Regent Awards underscore contribution to the community and the advancement of others.
​
Also recognized are chapter members receiving service awards for volunteer service and commitment to the chapter and ACHE. Members who serve as mentors, participate on a committee, or serve as a chapter leader are eligible for an award based on points accrued over time; the award levels are “service,” “distinguished service,” and “exemplary service.”
​
In the spirit of extending limelight to those who quietly contribute to the success of others, a shout out goes to the Health Administration Program Directors of the four ACHE Higher Education Network (HEN) colleges/universities in this Regent’s territory: Soumitra Bhuyan, PhD, Rutgers University; Seton Hall University, Nalin Johri, PhD; Berkeley College, Marjorie Silverman, PhD; and Saint Peter’s University, Louis Ruvolo, DBA, MBA. These leaders introduce ACHE to health administration students early in their journey, thus contributing to their success for many years to come.
​
I look forward to your feedback and to communicating with you through this quarterly message, and to your engagement and feedback. Reach me at regent@achenj.com and checkout the chapter's upcoming events at https://www.achenj.com .
Sincerely,
Ceu Cirne-Neves, FACHE
Regent for New Jersey – Northern
