FROM OUR REGENT
Message from Our ACHE-NJ Regent
WINTER 2025
​
Dear ACHE Colleagues,
​
Mother Nature, with winter mix and the promise of spring ahead, encourages us during the first few months of the year to reset what matters most at home and at our jobs. Indeed, healthcare managers and leaders are assessing progress and setting action plans in support of overarching goals. This is when leadership makes a difference!
Leaders looking to support their teams with professional development are encouraged to tap into the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) 2025 Congress on Healthcare Leadership, March 24-27, in Houston, Texas. ACHE's signature annual summit of industry thought leaders, impactful keynotes, and a diverse offering of educational sessions are known to bring teams to the next level of performance.
Closer to home, ACHE-New Jersey also offers opportunities to learn and advance. The chapter has posted its newly installed 2025 Board of Directors to its website and a robust calendar of events for the first quarter, including a C-Suite roundtable discussion, a networking session, and the invitation for mentors and mentees to join the mentorship program. New to the Board this year is a newly established role for an ACHE Student Associate Representative from an ACHE-NJ Higher Educational Network college or university; one of the highlights of this quarter will be guest speaker ACHE Chair-Elect Michele K. Sutton, FACHE, president/CEO of North Oaks Health System, Hammond, LA.
Enjoy leveraging your leadership to support your team and your organization's overarching goals and let me know what's working well! I look forward to communicating with you quarterly through this message and to your engagement and feedback. Check out https://www.achenj.com for information about programs and how to obtain additional information and tickets. You can reach me at Regent@achenj.com.

Ceu Cirne-Neves, FACHE
