2012 Governance Orientation/Refresher & Skills Building Intensive
. Please Note --> This is a Past Event!! .

Presented by:
Washington State Hospital Association &
Association of Washington Public Hospital Districts

  • Do you feel up to date in core knowledge and governance skills to effectively lead your organization?
  • Is your Board guiding the development of appropriate services to respond to your broader community health needs?
  • Is your Board able to disagree without being disagreeable?
  • Is your Board optimally structured for effective and efficient decision making?
  • Are your Board members clear about the role distinction between them and the CEO and staff in these fast changing times for health care?
  • Does your Board have processes in place to track global and local changes in healthcare and apply them in planning and decision making?

Clearly the current health care system is unsustainable. Pressures on hospitals and health systems are growing and Boards are on the front line. Never was it more imperative for Board members to be informed, engaged and have the competencies to perform at the highest level! This program will offer the fundamentals of governance for newer Board members and enable ‘veteran’ Board members to take their governance work to another level. Effective communication and decision-making are essential. Serving your broader community health needs is one among many of the emerging challenges of the next paradigm. Join us!
