As 2007 comes to an end, the Center for Healthcare Governance would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a healthy and prosperous new year! In 2008, the Center will continue its tradition of providing CEOs, trustees, and executive and clinical leadership with the tools and resources they need to achieve the "best practices" in health care governance.

Our National Symposia on Governing and Leading Healthcare Organizations will be presented in January and September of 2008. Each program features new content and presenters, and covers the full spectrum of governance and leadership topics, including emerging trends, quality and patient safety, organizational culture and trustees' evolving roles and responsibilities. Our symposia allow participants to explore the connection between exemplary governance processes and practices to improve organizational performance. Our 1-1/2 day National Conferences build on our curriculum-based approach to education and offer participants an intensive study of key topics to help them best prepare for their role on the board.

Please mark your calendar now for the programs listed below and visit the Center Web site to find more detailed information on more events as it becomes available.
