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 attend one of our one-day conferences that will be offered in conjunction with AHA and Health Forum meetings, including the AHA Annual Meeting, the AHA/Health Forum Leadership Summit, the Rural Leadership Conference and the Health System Retreat.
