Symposia & Conferences

We understand your time constraints. That's why we offer you a variety of options for board education and development. Our curriculum will feature two annual, multi-day symposia that cover the full spectrum of governance and leadership topics such as leadership and culture, quality, patient safety, trustees’ roles and responsibilities and much, much more.

If this doesn't fit your schedule, you can take advantage of Center programming offered in conjunction with AHA and Health Forum meetings, including the AHA Annual Membership Meeting, the Health Forum/AHA Leadership Summit, and the Health Forum Rural Healthcare Leadership Conference.
