Welcome to the 2017 ACHE-SETC
5 th Annual Healthcare Leadership Conference
Thank you for registering for this year’s conference. For those of you who may continue to recover from the
aftermath of Hurricane Harvey our hearts go out to you. We hope that this year’s ACHE-SETC Healthcare
Leadership Conference allows you, albeit for a brief time, to put aside the heartbreaking scenes and associated losses
as result of the devastating storm and focus on your professional development. We believe all attendees should take
advantage of this annual opportunity to learn from seasoned healthcare executives about innovative ways to deal
with current issues and experience a comprehensive educational program that may address some of the challenges
facing you in your professional life.
Early in 2013, ACHE-SouthEastTexasChapter and the Educational Foundation of the SouthEastTexasChapter joined
forces to develop an annual conference that would offer cutting-edge educational programs and provide ACHE
members an opportunity to earn 12 hours of ACHE Face-to-Face CEUs at an affordable price. On behalf of the
Chapter and Foundation leadership, we are honored that you chose to join your professional colleagues in attending
this year’s streamlined conference. Much effort in planning this year’s event, in spite of the Harvey episode, has
been dedicated to ensure you will enjoy the educational sessions and learning about and understanding best practices
that may help you maximize your effectiveness, enhance your skills, and provide the results you hope to achieve.
During the conference we encourage you to take advantage of expanding your skill set, building and strengthening
your relationships with peers, and collect new ways of thinking about key issues facing healthcare professionals in
today’s world of value-based care and value-based leadership.
If you are a first time visitor to Houston, you will experience the wonderful hospitality and friendliness of
Houstonians. One of the most diverse cities in the United States, we hope you will feel right at home during your
visit.
Thank you again for being part of this year’s annual leadership conference. Please take the time to enjoy the sessions
and networking opportunities, the Texas Medical Center, and Houston. You will be glad you did.
We look forward to seeing you during the conference, where together we can discover ways to advance healthcare
management excellence.
