Chair Report

Dear Esteemed Members,


Greetings as we embrace the vibrant hues of fall ! We are thrilled to bring you a host of exciting opportunities, programs, and collaborations that underscore our commitment to advancing healthcare leadership and fostering meaningful connections within our community.


1) Board Seats: Carve Your Path in Healthcare Leadership

Our chapter thrives because of dedicated professionals like you. As we approach the natural cycle of Board term endings, we are pleased to announce that there will be 5 Board vacancies available. A Board seat offers a unique vantage point to shape the trajectory of our organization. The term for each seat spans 2 years, with the possibility to extend service for an additional two years. This is your chance to influence change and guide our chapter towards a brighter future. Keep an eye out for more information as we have received numerous applications and will be announcing our new slate of candidates to join our Board during our next iHEN meeting on November 2nd.
