FROM OUR REGENT
Message from Our ACHE-NJ Regent
SPRING 2024
As we welcome Spring and experience Mother Nature’s resilience, it is fitting that our organizations follow this annual ritual of renewal by surveying stakeholders, reaffirming workplans, or modifying them as required.
Listening to “the voice of the customer” is one of the hallmarks of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and ACHE-NJ, a leadership practice that provides direction and refines deliverables. During three weeks in May, members will receive a survey which will capture what you value most about our professional organization.
We eagerly anticipate this year’s survey results, and especially are looking forward to reviewing the requirements of Student Associates and Early Careerists. Indeed, the preoccupation with Student Associates extended to the Regent Think Tank discussions at the Regents Leadership Conference meeting in Chicago. In particular, the discussions centered around how to leverage the Higher Education Networks and maximize student engagement.
The insights gained at the national level will be incorporated into ACHE’s 2025-2027 Strategic Plan, and the insights gained from the ACHE-NJ member survey will inform the committee leaders tasked with providing evidence-driven value.
I look forward to communicating with you quarterly, through this message, and to your engagement and feedback. Reach me at Regent@achenj.com, or www.achenj.com.
