A Message From Your 
ACHE of Massachusetts President

 

Dear ACHE of Massachusetts Members, 

As we begin the New Year, we reflect back on 2011 as
being a very successful year. We achieved our goals on membership, education, membership development and networking. We should expect to make even greater progress this year.

 

The Board of Directors' main goal will continue to be to increase membership and member engagement. Our five-committee structure is well established after its first year
of operations and will continue to allow the organization to grow and accomplish our mission. The Membership, Program, Communications, Early Careerist Network and Sponsorship Committees have an exciting year planned for all of ACHE of Massachusetts. If you are interested in learning more about how you can get involved in one of these committees, please contact Donna Powell, our Administrator, at [email protected].

 

Now is clearly a time of change for the healthcare industry, our profession and our organization. ACHE of Massachusetts will provide great value to our members in charting their courses for 2012. We can all anticipate another very exciting year for ACHE of Massachusetts!

  

William P. Fleming, FACHE
