FROM OUR REGENT
Message from Our ACHE-NJ Regent
Summer 2025
​
Dear ACHE Colleagues,
​
Healthcare administrators and leaders who are intent on driving engagement and results for their organizations have a great opportunity now, at mid-year, to assess their performance to date and reset work plans to meet (or exceed) the budgeted end-of-year results.
Inevitably, we all come to the same conclusion that without an optimal level of workforce engagement, those workplans produce modest results, at best. Incentivizing frontline and middle management to invest in their own competency development sends the message that the organization and C-suite value in-house talent.
This summer and fall, turn to the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and its New Jersey chapter (ACHE-NJ) as a resource for you and for your team; offer your direct reports memberships in ACHE and promote conferences, webinars, networking opportunities, and mentorship. Close to home—or via Zoom—the organization is offering its annual Summer Series, Fall Congress, and networking events.
Your emerging leaders, senior leaders, and other high performers will appreciate your investment in them. In addition to offering professional development, this summer, consider participating in the ACHE Regent Awards and show your team some recognition.
Regent Award nominations open in July and run through September, with a presentation of the awards scheduled for the ACHE-NJ annual meeting in December. Consider nominations for ACHE Student Associate, Early Careerist, Mid Careerist, Senior Careerist, and Innovator/Collaborator. Details about how to nominate a high performer will be available in July.
Enjoy recognizing your team and let me know what’s working well! I look forward to your feedback and to communicating with you quarterly through this message. Check out https://www.achenj.com for information about programs and tickets and reach me at Regent@achenj.com.
Sincerely,
Ceu Cirne-Neves, FACHE
