ACHD is excited to announce that, after three years, we will once again be meeting in-person for our 70th Annual Meeting. Join us from September 14-16th at the Hyatt Orange County to celebrate ACHD’s platinum anniversary.
This year’s event will feature a wide variety of learning opportunities, including sessions to help you sharpen your advocacy skills, create a culture of inclusion, and power up to energize yourself and serve with joy, just to name a few.
Like last year, on our first day, we will be offering a pre-conference Governance Day focused on training elements previously offered at our Leadership Academy. Thursday and Friday will be dedicated to the ACHD 70th Annual Meeting, which will once again include our ACHD Annual Awards reception. Be sure to take advantage of all of the networking opportunities as well, such as our morning wellness walks!
We can’t wait to see you September 14-16th as we Celebrate 70 Years Together supporting health care districts and the communities they serve! REGISTER NOW
