These sessions are for you to provide feedback on the attributes you are looking for in your next President, identify areas of opportunity, and relay possible challenges facing our next President. Please be on the lookout for a calendar invite.
Virtual Townhall Feedback Session
Starting Monday, October 4, we will also be looking for your input via an online survey to get your insights, thoughts, and perspectives to help inform the development of the position profile to be used in the recruitment process. This survey will be open for five days and serve as a Virtual Townhall to solicit your feedback.
Additional updates will follow as this process moves forward, a web page will be created to keep the community updated on our progress, and we will provide a designated email address for you to submit confidential nominations for ACPHS' next President that will be sent directly to our search firm.
Thank you in advance for your participation and feedback during this important process.
