Welcome to the September issue of the ACHE Canadian chapter newsletter. Here you will find important information on Chapter activities and opportunities to get share, learn and connect.

The Communications Committee continues to look for ways to improve the Canadian Chapter website and social media communications. Thank you to those who have taken the time to provide comments and suggestions. If you have not yet provided input, please take a few moments to complete a brief survey to guide our efforts.

A reminder that our annual Regent's Breakfast will take place on November 7. To view the agenda click here. In addition to networking with colleagues and ACHE Canada leaders, you will have an opportunity to hear from the incoming chair of ACHE, David A. Olson, FACHE.

An important feature of the Breakfast is the awards presentation honouring ACHE members in healthcare leadership positions who are committed to excellence in their service to their healthcare organizations, community volunteer groups, or the Canadian Chapter of ACHE. Please consider submitting a nomination for yourself or nominate a Chapter member. 

Awards will be presented to Early Career and Senior-Level Healthcare Executives.  Nominations are due October 20. To view the criteria and submission process visit http://canada.ache.org/leadership/regents-area/regents-award-for-canada.
