Hospital Trustee Professionalism:
Building Capacity for Excellence in Governance
June 26-27, 2008
Hyatt Regency Sacramento at Capital Park - Sacramento, CA
Overview | Agenda | Conference Brochure
 Are you new to the hospital board or looking to better define your role as a board member?
At this 1 1/2-day conference, participants will discover the governance practices that help boards to run most effectively, the critical issues facing health care, and the skills and competencies needed to meet the specific roles and duties of the board. First-term and newer trustees will acquire new knowledge to help them fulfill their roles on the board, enabling them to become more informed about their organizations, more aware of their governance responsibilities and better prepared to engage in active and productive oversight while serving as a hospital trustee. Participants will find this conference instrumental in building a solid foundation for effective governance.
Participants will receive:
- Rich interaction with experienced faculty with extensive opportunities to gain counsel on one’s own governance issues.
- Practical governance tools from the Center’s online Resource Repository, including board charters, board committee charters, and position descriptions.
- A comprehensive conference guide, including hard copies of presentations.
- A certificate for 10% off the Center’s Governance Assessment Process for each participating hospital.
