“Attending the annual ACHE Congress last March as a Student Program Associate really sold me on the many benefits of being an ACHE member. ACHE is a great way for students and professionals alike to create and sustain relationships and keep pace with innovation in the industry. I will definitely stay involved with ACHE as I join the industry next fall as a professional.”
“I chose to pursue a career in healthcare leadership because of my desire to lead those committed to providing outstanding patient care and improving the health of communities. I joined ACHE during my undergraduate healthcare administration program at UW-Milwaukee because of the many educational opportunities available to members. These educational opportunities reinforced with me the continuous learning that is necessary for this profession. ACHE is committed to developing future leaders and offered mentoring and shadowing opportunities for students at Milwaukee. These experiences confirmed with me that this was a career I wanted to pursue. At the University of Minnesota I have benefitted from the networking and educational opportunities offered by ACHE. These experiences have helped me meet other professionals in the area and learn about other organizations. I feel more prepared to enter and contribute to this profession because of my involvement in ACHE.”
