Attendees will also learn more about how the VA has implemented the PACT Act to create improvements in cost-sharing and operations to drive sustainable growth and demand and will hear about the VA’s use of AI to reduce clinician administrative burden and burnout.

Move From Mentor to Sponsor
Sponsorship has a measurable impact on the opportunities available to women and others historically marginalized. In an ACHE Blog post, Douglas Riddle, PhD, DMin, FAPA, curriculum director, The Carol Emmott Foundation, provides seven practical ideas on how executives can introduce more sponsoring into their mentoring relationships.
The key difference between mentoring and sponsoring is the degree of risk and the amount of investment involved—moving beyond listening and advice. Riddle writes, “Speaking up for another means being willing to take the risk that things may not work out perfectly and being willing to stay in the arena with our mentees,” which can grow into an immense reward of championing worthy leaders.
Review the seven ideas to spark inspiring sponsor relationships, as well as check out other commentary from industry-leading thinkers on the ACHE Blog.
