Leadership Viewpoint: More Than an Association: Our Shared Home in College Health
A joint message from ACHA President Andreea Baker and CEO Raphael Florestal-Kevelier
With renewal season underway, we are reminded that ACHA is more than a professional association, it is a community, a resource, and for many of us, a professional home. As President and CEO, we are grateful for the many ways our members shape ACHA through their expertise, leadership, participation, and commitment to our mission. ACHA is strongest when its members are connected to one another and actively engaged in the community we are building together.
