ACHE Unveils New Strategic Plan

The ACHE Board of Governors has approved the 2022–2024 Strategic Plan with a renewed focus on ACHE’s work to advance health by leading for equity and safety, grow our professional community of leaders by leveraging our partnerships with chapters and other organizations, and help leaders reach their highest potential by deepening our engagement with members and the healthcare community.

ACHE annually examines its Strategic Plan with a continuing focus on meeting the evolving needs of our members and healthcare leadership. To achieve the central goal of educating, engaging and inspiring leaders to improve health, the three-year Strategic Plan focuses on driving advancements that enable the personal and professional growth of our members, and the safe, equitable, effective and efficient delivery of care to all.

In our role as a catalyst for the field of healthcare leadership, ACHE will focus on creating a next-level strategy for our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, while our work as a connector will focus on developing new ways to enhance our partnership with chapters. As a trusted partner, we will focus on accelerating the use of technology to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing environment as well as the adoption of the FACHE® certification as the gold standard for leading.
