CHEF Leadership Task Force Update
The CHEF Leadership Task Force is a committee established by the CHEF Board in late 2014 that was charged with intertwining leadership into all aspects of CHEF. One of the main goals of the Leadership Task Force is to develop and execute leadership programs that further ACHE?s mission to advance its members and healthcare management excellence.

To date, the Leadership Task Force has put on two events in the Leadership Education Series and has some exciting and innovative programs in development for the remainder of 2016.
