Message From Your Regent
Rupert M. Evans Sr., DHA, FACHE
Regent Illinois Metropolitan Chicago
Greetings CHEF members,
I am wrapping up the first four months as your new Regent. I has been a been an exciting and interesting experience and I am continuously meeting new people had hearing more and more about those issues which are keeping many of you awake at night thinking about how we will shape the direction of our health care system. I have established a new Regents Advisory council, which includes many influential, and establish leaders in our profession. I have included their names, contact information, and feel free to contact them with any issues related to the College and will address them as a part of our RAC deliberations.

REGENT ELECTIONS The 2017–2018 Regent election process is under way in 18 Regent jurisdictions with elections to be held in October. The notice and the position descriptions appear in the Member Center of ache.org. All Fellows who wish to run for election must submit a letter of intent via email to the attention of Caitlin E. Stine, Division of Regional Services, at elections@ache.org by Aug. 25, 2017. If you have a question about the elections process, please contact Caitlin at cstine@ache.org. I encourage qualified candidates to apply.
During the period of April 1, 2017 – June 30, 2017 Regents or their representatives visited 3 percent of the Higher Education Network participants. This compares to 4 percent during the same time last year. ACHE expects Regents to visit the ACHE Higher Education Network participants in their area at least once per year. If a Regent is unable to make a visit, he or she may designate a RAC member or local ACHE chapter member to complete the visit. Full credit will be given for visits completed by these representatives. I plan visits to healthcare management programs between now and the fall. The following are the programs, which are in our HEN:
Governors State University (U/G)
Loyola University Chicago (G)
Loyola University Chicago-Niehoff School of Nursing
Northwestern University (G)
Rush University (G)
University of Illinois at Chicago (G)
University of Chicago
American Intercontinental University (U/G)

The 2017–2018 NATIONAL AWARDS PROCESS ACHE is accepting nominations for the Gold Medal Award and would like to encourage you to consider nominating outstanding executives. In the past, many Regents have used their Regents Advisory Councils to assist in the identification and submission of a nomination. • The Gold Medal Award is the highest honor bestowed by ACHE. It recognizes an ACHE Fellow who has made significant contributions to the healthcare profession. The nomination deadline for the Gold Medal Award is Aug. 18, 2017. Award winner(s) will be recognized in March 2018 during the Congress on Healthcare Leadership in Chicago.
As it has been in the past, the Regent and CHEF will partner to select individuals for Chapter and Regents Awards which will be presented during the CHEF Annual Meeting and Awards Gala. Please let me know of any individuals you believe are worth of this type of recognition. The categories are listed below:
Regent’s Healthcare Leadership Award
