Message from the Regent
by Jay Jolly, FACHE

I enjoyed seeing many of you at the KAHCE networking meeting and educational program on November 11 in Wichita in conjunction with the KHA Annual Meeting and Convention. The newly elected KAHCE board will serve the chapter membership well in the coming year under the leadership of incoming President Frederick (Ron) Stephen, LFACHE. Ron and I both attended the Chapter Leaders Conference and Workshop October 19 and 20 in Chicago, which included the District leadership meetings as well. We have already discussed ways to apply some of the resources and ideas presented at that conference. As always, it was time well spent in the educational sessions, and networking with the many impressive leaders from around the country that make ACHE an effective professional association.  Read More
