New Board Meets in Indianapolis
With its term beginning July 1, the new 2019-20 CAAHEP Board of Directors met on July 24-25, in Indianapolis. During the first day of the meeting, the Committees of the Board met in the morning and then reported activities during the Board meeting in the afternoon. During the Board meeting, an review of CAAHEP's investments was provided by Kevin Caldwell, CAAHEP's financial adviser from Raymond James, accreditation actions were taken on 75 programs, members of the 2020 Annual Meeting Planning Committee were appointed, and a policy update was approved allowing Open Hearings on Proposed Standards to occur every month of the year except December.

Work Has Begun on the CAAHEP Strategic Plan
During the second day of its meeting, the CAAHEP Board split into three groups, each group developing the action steps of three of the four goals in the new strategic plan. The remaining goal focuses on Committee on Accreditation (CoA) Relations, so a committee of CoA representatives was appointed to address these action steps. The new Strategic Plan is available on the CAAHEP website , along with a recent PowerPoint presentation . Please watch for updates on progress of the plan in the coming months.
