Forge New Connections Within the ACHE Community 

ACHE’s growing and evolving membership represents a rich diversity that makes ACHE—and today’s changing leadership—so dynamic. That’s why we offer a variety of communities, forums and networks for our members with similar interests and career needs to communicate, collaborate and advance together.

  • Online communities: Our online communities allow members to connect peer-to-peer, in real time, about issues important to them and their organizations. We offer the following:
  • CEO Circle: The CEO Circle is a small but mighty community that connects CEOs and offers opportunities to exchange ideas, share best practices and volunteer. Members receive a comprehensive package of highly relevant benefits exclusive to CEO Circle members such as Chief Executive Officer—a quarterly newsletter that highlights leadership trends and challenges of interest to healthcare CEOs, free admission to the CEO Circle Session—a program focusing on critical management issues at the annual Congress on Healthcare Leadership, and more.
  • Networks and forums: The Healthcare Consultants Forum is tailored to individuals seeking to advance their consulting skills and expertise. And the Early Careerist Network is a ready-made community of peers to which full Members and Fellows under age 40 automatically belong.

We encourage members to explore all of our communities, forums and networks to find groups tailored to their individual interests and needs. Thank you for being part of our diverse ACHE community.

Podcast: Leadership and A Quantum Life

In this episode of the Healthcare Executive Podcast we speak with Hakeem M. Oluseyi, PhD, an internationally recognized astrophysicist who will speak at the Congress on Healthcare Leadership. Oluseyi, who recently was stationed at NASA headquarters as an astrophysicist and space science education lead for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate, shares how he overcame many challenges on his path toward becoming an astrophysicist, and the leadership qualities needed to persevere in pursuing your goals.

Oluseyi will deliver the Leon I. Gintzig Commemorative Address at Congress, where he will speak about how he overcame difficult circumstances growing up to pursue his love of science and space and become a world-renowned astrophysicist, an inventor, a science TV personality and a global education advocate.
