Day of Giving
We extend our gratitude to everyone who participated in our fifth annual Day of Giving on Feb. 13, 2025. Thanks to your philanthropy, we raised $12,025, helping us provide essential resources that otherwise might not be available to the next generation of healthcare leaders. Your generosity is paving the way for tomorrow’s leaders to have impactful careers in healthcare and improve health in their communities.
For over 90 years, ACHE has been dedicated to advancing our members and healthcare leadership excellence. Chartered on Feb. 13, 1933, we provide the support of a professional community to further our members’ growth and development through every stage of their careers.
Your gifts also bring us closer to our goal of raising $1 million for the Healthcare Leaders of Tomorrow campaign concluding in March. We gratefully acknowledge the 15 organizations and individuals who have committed more than $25,000 in support of our $1 million goal.
If you have already contributed, THANK YOU! For those considering a gift, whatever the size, you will be helping to shape the future of healthcare leadership.

Your contribution, no matter the size, helps provide resources for the future leaders of our field. The assistance aspiring leaders receive from the Fund for Healthcare Leadership can make the difference between being able to advance their executive acumen or having to forgo the opportunity.

2013 Executive Program Scholarship Recipient
It was a humbling honor to be selected as a scholarship recipient for the Executive Program as the generous underwriting allowed me to participate in this worthwhile program.
Attending the Executive Program was vital for me to learn about the leadership skills, executive presence and acumen necessary to transition into my first executive role, at the time. In addition to learning about the skills necessary to transition to an executive role, I also sought to identify those behaviors and leadership skills which would allow me to continue succeeding upon establishing myself as an executive.
Networking with like-minded peers focused on their individual developments, access to “best” practices in leadership, portraying an executive image, advancing safety/quality, strategic career management, effectively influencing others and working with difficult stakeholders were among the many goals that I sought to obtain from my participation in the program.
